Add Word Header and Footer with C#
If a word document has many pages, people may add header or footer to show the page number. Sometimes, the header or footer may be symbols which are the topic of the document talk about or the owner of the document.
It is simple to insert add header and footer. Open a Word document. Then click Header and footer on File menu. Type the text or use the format Word provides.
Then, I want to show something about how to add Word header and footer with C#.
Using the code:
#region add Word header and footer
/**////
/// Add Header
///
/// file name
///
public static bool AddPageHeaderFooter(string filePath)
{
Try
{
Object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Application WordApp = new Application();
WordApp.Visible = true;
object filename = filePath;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Document WordDoc = WordApp.Documents.Open(ref filename, ref oMissing,
ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
/**/////Method 1 to Add Header
//WordApp.ActiveWindow.View.Type = WdViewType.wdOutlineView;
//WordApp.ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = WdSeekView.wdSeekPrimaryHeader;
//WordApp.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.Selection.InsertAfter( "**" );//Header Content
/**/////Method 2 to Add Header
if (WordApp.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type == WdViewType.wdNormalView ||
WordApp.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type == WdViewType.wdOutlineView)
{
WordApp.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = WdViewType.wdPrintView;
}
WordApp.ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = WdSeekView.wdSeekCurrentPageHeader;
WordApp.Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = false;
WordApp.Selection.HeaderFooter.Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphCenter;
WordApp.Selection.HeaderFooter.Range.Text = "Header Content";
WordApp.ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = WdSeekView.wdSeekCurrentPageFooter;
WordApp.Selection.HeaderFooter.LinkToPrevious = false;
WordApp.Selection.HeaderFooter.Range.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = WdParagraphAlignment.wdAlignParagraphCenter;
WordApp.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.Selection.InsertAfter("Footer Content");
//Quit Header and Footer Setting
WordApp.ActiveWindow.View.SeekView = WdSeekView.wdSeekMainDocument;
//Save file
WordDoc.Save();
WordDoc.Close(ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
WordApp.Quit(ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
return true;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
Console.WriteLine(e.StackTrace);
return false;
}
}
