3. Include the following namespaces in Program.cs file
   C#

using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;
using Syncfusion.DocIO;
using Syncfusion.DocIORenderer;
using System.IO;

4. Use the following code example to add image captions without numbers in a Word document.
   C#

//Creates a new Word document.
using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument())
{
   //Add a new section to the document.
   IWSection section = document.AddSection();
   //Create a new paragraph and append a Table of Contents (TOC).
   IWParagraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
   TableOfContent tableOfContent = paragraph.AppendTOC(1, 3);
   //Disable a flag to exclude heading style paragraphs in TOC entries.
   tableOfContent.UseHeadingStyles = false;
   //Set the name of SEQ field identifier for table of figures.
   tableOfContent.TableOfFiguresLabel = "Figure";

   //Add a new paragraph for the first image.
   paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
   //Add the first image to the paragraph.
   FileStream imageStream = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"Data/MountainCycle.jpg"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
   IWPicture picture = paragraph.AppendPicture(imageStream);
   //Add an image caption.
   paragraph = picture.AddCaption("Figure", CaptionNumberingFormat.Number, CaptionPosition.AfterImage);
   //Add text to the caption paragraph.
   paragraph.AppendText(" " + "Mountain-Cycle");
   //Apply formatting to the caption.
   paragraph.ParagraphFormat.BeforeSpacing = 8;
   paragraph.ParagraphFormat.AfterSpacing = 8;
   //Hide the caption numbering.
   WSeqField field = paragraph.ChildEntities[1] as WSeqField;
   field.HideResult = true;
   
   //Add a new paragraph for the second image.
   paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
   //Add the second image to the paragraph.
   imageStream = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"Data/RoadCycle.jpg"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
   picture = paragraph.AppendPicture(imageStream);
   //Add an image caption.
   paragraph = picture.AddCaption("Figure", CaptionNumberingFormat.Number, CaptionPosition.AfterImage);
   //Add text to the caption paragraph.
   paragraph.AppendText(" " + "Road-Cycle");
   //Apply formatting to the caption.
   paragraph.ParagraphFormat.BeforeSpacing = 8;
   paragraph.ParagraphFormat.AfterSpacing = 8;
   //Hide the caption numbering.
   field = paragraph.ChildEntities[1] as WSeqField;
   field.HideResult = true;

   //Update the fields in the Word document.
   document.UpdateDocumentFields();
   //Update the Table of Contents (TOC).
   document.UpdateTableOfContents();
   //Create file stream.
   using (FileStream outputFileStream = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"Output/Result.docx"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
   {
       //Save the Word document to file stream.
       document.Save(outputFileStream, FormatType.Docx);
   }
}
