Private Sub WordAddDataGridView()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Dim DataGridView1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word. _
        Controls.DataGridView = Me.Controls.AddDataGridView( _
        0, 0, 190, 112.5F, "DataGridView1")
    DataGridView1.Columns.Add("firsName", "First Name")
    DataGridView1.Columns.Add("lastName", "Last Name")
End Sub
private void WordAddDataGridView()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Controls.DataGridView
        dataGridView1 = this.Controls.AddDataGridView(
        0, 0, 190, 112.5F, "dataGridView1");
