How to create a blank Word DOCX document in C# .NET Framework

Today’s tutorial will show you how to create DOCX files from within an app. We are going to make things as simple as possible, so you should be all set to go in just a matter of minutes. Let’s begin.

First off, run this command in your Package Manager console to install our API client.

Install-Package Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert -Version 2.2.0

Now simply call EditDocumentDocxCreateBlankDocument, as you see here:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Api;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Client;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Model;
namespace Example
{
public class EditDocumentDocxCreateBlankDocumentExample
{
public void main()
{
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
Configuration.Default.AddApiKey("Apikey", "YOUR_API_KEY");
// Uncomment below to setup prefix (e.g. Bearer) for API key, if needed
// Configuration.Default.AddApiKeyPrefix("Apikey", "Bearer");
var apiInstance = new EditDocumentApi();
var input = new CreateBlankDocxRequest(); // CreateBlankDocxRequest | Document input request
try
{
// Create a blank Word DOCX document
CreateBlankDocxResponse result = apiInstance.EditDocumentDocxCreateBlankDocument(input);
Debug.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Debug.Print("Exception when calling EditDocumentApi.EditDocumentDocxCreateBlankDocument: " + e.Message );
}
}
}
}

And voila! Our blank document is ready. From here, we can use some other functions to fill it with content, such as EditDocumentDocxInsertImage or EditDocumentDocxInsertParagraph.
