Dim groupControl1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.GroupContentControl

Private Sub AddGroupControlAtSelection()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.Text = "You cannot edit or change the formatting of text " & _
            "in this paragraph, because this paragraph is in a GroupContentControl." 
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.Select()
    groupControl1 = Me.Controls.AddGroupContentControl("groupControl1")
End Sub
private Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.GroupContentControl groupControl1;

private void AddGroupControlAtSelection()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    Word.Range range1 = this.Paragraphs[1].Range;
    range1.Text = "You cannot edit or change the formatting of text " +
        "in this paragraph, because this paragraph is in a GroupContentControl.";
    range1.Select();

    groupControl1 = this.Controls.AddGroupContentControl("groupControl1");
}

Private Sub AddGroupControlAtSelection()
    If Me.Application.ActiveDocument Is Nothing Then

    End If 

    Dim vstoDoc As Document = Globals.Factory.GetVstoObject(Me.Application.ActiveDocument)
    vstoDoc.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    vstoDoc.Paragraphs(1).Range.Text = "You cannot edit or change the formatting of text " & _
            "in this paragraph, because this paragraph is in a GroupContentControl."
    vstoDoc.Paragraphs(1).Range.Select()
    groupControl1 = vstoDoc.Controls.AddGroupContentControl("groupControl1")
End Sub

private void AddGroupControlAtSelection()
{
    if (this.Application.ActiveDocument == null)
        return;

    Document vstoDoc = Globals.Factory.GetVstoObject(this.Application.ActiveDocument);
    vstoDoc.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    Word.Range range1 = vstoDoc.Paragraphs[1].Range;
