Can we place image along with aligned text in header in word doc using openxml in C#

Question

I have created a word doc using open xml in C#. In that word doc header we need to place one image in align right with specific dimensions i.e. (new DW.Extent() { Cx = 1000000L, Cy = 220000L }) and some text in middle. I have created a header only with the image and created another header for the text and appended the both as single header. while making both headers as single header it is consuming extra space in between the headers and image is going to top and image below text is coming.

If it is possible to arrange in single header for both image and text because we need to arrange the text and image in same row. If it is not possible then is there any header length decreasing properties in open xml c#.

Hi,

Word development is currently not supported in the Q&A forums, the supported products are listed over here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/products (more to be added later on).

You can ask the experts in the dedicated Word for Developers forum over here:

Is this what you want?

The above effect can be achieved by using Free Spire.Doc, which is a free C# class library for Word. Install it via NuGet, and you can add image along with aligned text to the header of an existing Word document using the code snippet below.

using Spire.Doc;  
using Spire.Doc.Documents;  
using Spire.Doc.Fields;  
using System.Drawing;  
  
namespace AddHeaderImageAndText  
{  
    class Program  
    {  
        static void Main(string[] args)  
        {  
            //Create an instance of Document class  
            Document document = new Document();  
  
            //Load a Word document  
            document.LoadFromFile(@"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\sample.docx");  
  
            //Get the first section of Word Document  
            Section section = document.Sections[0];  
  
            //Get header via HeadersFooters.Header property   
            HeaderFooter header = section.HeadersFooters.Header;  
  
            //Add a paragraph and set paragraph alignment style  
            Paragraph textPara = header.AddParagraph();  
            textPara.Format.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;  
            textPara.Format.AfterSpacing = 0;  
  
            //Append text and set font name, size, color,etc.  
            TextRange textrange = textPara.AppendText("Your Company Name" + "\nYour Website"+"\nYour Telephone Number");  
            textrange.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Arial";  
            textrange.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 10;  
            textrange.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.DodgerBlue;  
       
            //Add another paragraph to hold image  
            Paragraph imagePara = header.AddParagraph();  
            DocPicture headerImage = imagePara.AppendPicture(Image.FromFile(@"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\R-C.jpg"));  
  
            //Set image position  
            headerImage.TextWrappingStyle = TextWrappingStyle.InFrontOfText;  
            headerImage.HorizontalPosition = 422;  
            headerImage.VerticalOrigin = VerticalOrigin.TopMarginArea;  
            headerImage.VerticalPosition = 0;  
  
            //Save to file  
            document.SaveToFile("AddHeader.docx", FileFormat.Docx);  
        }  
    }  
}

@Suresh A ,

Please refer to Leon's reply.

As the issue is not supported on Q&A forum, I would modify the tag to be "not-supported".

Thanks for your understanding.
