How to fix images in specific position in a Word document?

Syncfusion® Essential® DocIO is a .NET Word library used to create, read, edit, and convert Word documents programmatically without Microsoft Word or interop dependencies. Using this library, you can fix images in a specific position in a Word document using C#.

To position an image in a fixed location, insert it within a table to maintain alignment and placement.

Steps to fix images in a specific position in a Word document:

1. Create a new .NET Core console application project.
   
   
2. Install the Syncfusion.DocIO.Net.Core NuGet package as a reference to your project from NuGet.org.
   
   

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

using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;
using Syncfusion.DocIO;

4. Use the following code example to fix images in a specific position in a Word document.
   C#

// Open the Word document
using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument())
{
   //Adds a section into Word document
   IWSection section = document.AddSection();
   //Adds a new table into Word document
   IWTable table = section.AddTable();
   //Specifies the total number of rows & columns
   table.ResetCells(2, 2);
   //Remove borders
   table.TableFormat.Borders.BorderType = BorderStyle.None;
   //Iterate through all rows
   foreach (WTableRow row in table.Rows)
   {
       //Iterate through all cells
       foreach (WTableCell cell in row.Cells)
       {
           //Add Image to the cell
           AddImageToCell(cell);
       }
   }
   // Save the modified document to a new file
   using (FileStream docStream1 = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"Output/Result.docx"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
   {
       document.Save(docStream1, FormatType.Docx);
   }
} 

5. Use the following code example to add an image to a table cell.
   C#

static void AddImageToCell(WTableCell cell)
{
   //Specifies the same padding as table option as false to preserve current cell padding
   cell.CellFormat.SamePaddingsAsTable = false;
   //Add cell paddings
   cell.CellFormat.Paddings.Left = 10f;
   cell.CellFormat.Paddings.Right = 10f;
   cell.CellFormat.Paddings.Top = 20f;
   cell.CellFormat.Paddings.Bottom = 20f;

   //Adds the image into the cell.
   FileStream imageStream = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"Data/Image.png"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
   IWPicture picture = cell.AddParagraph().AppendPicture(imageStream);
   //Set height and width for the image
   picture.Height = 220;
   picture.Width = 220;
   //Close the image stream
   imageStream.Close();
}
