C#
//Open an existing Word document.
using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument("Sample.docx"))
{
//Get the table from a Word document.
WTable table = document.Sections[0].Tables[0] as WTable;
//Clone the row.
WTableRow row = table.Rows[0].Clone();
//Iterate all cells in a row and clear the contents.
for (int i = 0; i < row.Cells.Count; i++)
{
WTableCell tableCell = row.Cells[i];
tableCell.ChildEntities.Clear();
}
//Insert a new paragraph to the first cell.
WParagraph cellParagraph = row.Cells[0].AddParagraph() as WParagraph;
//Set text to the paragraph.
IWTextRange textRange = cellParagraph.AppendText("New row's first cell");
//Insert a row into the table in a specific index.
table.Rows.Insert(2, row);
//Save a Word document.
document.Save("Result.docx", FormatType.Docx);
