   //Open an existing Word document.
   using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument(inputFileStream, FormatType.Docx))
   {
       using (FileStream htmlFileStream = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"Data/Table.html"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))
       {
           //Open an HTML document.
           using (WordDocument htmlDocument = new WordDocument(htmlFileStream, FormatType.Html))
           {
               //Get the first table from the HTML document.
               WTable table = htmlDocument.Sections[0].Tables[0].Clone() as WTable;
               TextBodyPart bodyPart = new TextBodyPart(document);
               //Add the table to the body part.
               bodyPart.BodyItems.Add(table);
               //Replace the placeholder text with the HTML table in the Word document.
               document.Replace("<<Product Table>>", bodyPart, true, true, false);
               //Create a file stream to save the modified Word document.
               using (FileStream outputFileStream = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"Output/Result.docx"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
               {
                   //Save the modified Word document to the file stream.
                   document.Save(outputFileStream, FormatType.Docx);
