Create a new windows application project and add a button to it.

On click of that button, we will open a document and insert a picture to it.

(In the doc file insert a table at the location where you want the picture to appear.)

Than add reference to (Word 10.0 or 11.0 object library) within COM tab of Add reference dialog box.

After adding reference, add this directive

using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word

Put the following code in the button click event handler

// For optional parameters create a missing object

object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;

// Create an object for filename, which is the file to be opened

object fileName=@”C:\MySecond.doc”;

// Create an object of application class

ApplicationClass WordApp = new ApplicationClass();

// open the document specified in the fileName variable

Document adoc = WordApp.Documents.Open(ref fileName, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,

ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,

ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);

// We can insert the picture using Range objects AddPicture method

// To insert a picture at a particular location in the word document

// insert a table over there and then refer that location through range object

Range rngPic = adoc.Tables[1].Range;

// we can even select a particular cell in the table

//Range rngPic = rng.Tables[1].Cell(2, 3).Range;

rngPic.InlineShapes.AddPicture(@”C:\anne_hathaway.jpg”, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);

WordApp.Visible = true;

Bye
