Add a Page in a Word Document using C#
The steps to add a new page at the end of a Word document involve first obtaining the last section, then inserting a page break at the end of the last paragraph of that section to ensure that subsequently added content appears on a new page. Here are the detailed steps:
- Create a Document object.
- Load a Word document using the Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Get the body of the last section of the document using Document.LastSection.Body.
- Add a page break by calling Paragraph.AppendBreak(BreakType.PageBreak) method.
- Create a new ParagraphStyle object.
- Add the new paragraph style to the document's style collection using Document.Styles.Add() method.
- Create a new Paragraph object and set the text content.
- Apply the previously created paragraph style to the new paragraph using Paragraph.ApplyStyle(ParagraphStyle.Name) method.
- Add the new paragraph to the document using Body.ChildObjects.Add(Paragraph) method.
- Save the resulting document using the Document.SaveToFile() method.
- C#
// Create a new document object
Document document = new Document();
// Load a document
document.LoadFromFile("Sample.docx");
// Get the body of the last section of the document
Body body = document.LastSection.Body;
// Insert a page break after the last paragraph in the body
body.LastParagraph.AppendBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);
// Create a new paragraph style
ParagraphStyle paragraphStyle = new ParagraphStyle(document);
paragraphStyle.Name = "CustomParagraphStyle1";
paragraphStyle.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacing = 12;
paragraphStyle.ParagraphFormat.AfterSpacing = 8;
paragraphStyle.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Microsoft YaHei";
paragraphStyle.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 12;
// Add the paragraph style to the document's style collection
document.Styles.Add(paragraphStyle);
// Create a new paragraph and set the text content
Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(document);
paragraph.AppendText("Thank you for using our Spire.Doc for .NET product. The trial version will add a red watermark to the generated document and only supports converting the first 10 pages to other formats. Upon purchasing and applying a license, these watermarks will be removed, and the functionality restrictions will be lifted.");
// Apply the paragraph style
paragraph.ApplyStyle(paragraphStyle.Name);
// Add the paragraph to the body's content collection
body.ChildObjects.Add(paragraph);
// Create another new paragraph and set the text content
paragraph = new Paragraph(document);
paragraph.AppendText("To experience our product more fully, we provide a one-month temporary license free of charge to each of our customers. Please send an email to sales@e-iceblue.com, and we will send the license to you within one working day.");
// Apply the paragraph style
paragraph.ApplyStyle(paragraphStyle.Name);
// Add the paragraph to the body's content collection
body.ChildObjects.Add(paragraph);
// Save the document to the specified path
document.SaveToFile("Add a Page.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
// Close the document
document.Close();
// Release the resources of the document object
document.Dispose();
Insert a Page in a Word Document using C#
Before inserting a new page, it is necessary to determine the ending position index of the specified page content within the section. Subsequently, add the content of the new page to the document one by one after this position. Finally, to separate the content from the following pages, adding a page break is essential. The detailed steps are as follows:
- Create a Document object.
- Load a Word document using the Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Create a FixedLayoutDocument object.
- Obtain the FixedLayoutPage object of a page in the document.
- Determine the index position of the last paragraph on the page within the section.
- Create a new ParagraphStyle object.
- Add the new paragraph style to the document's style collection using Document.Styles.Add() method.
- Create a new Paragraph object and set the text content.
- Apply the previously created paragraph style to the new paragraph using the Paragraph.ApplyStyle(ParagraphStyle.Name) method.
- Insert the new paragraph at the specified using the Body.ChildObjects.Insert(index, Paragraph) method.
- Create another new paragraph object, set its text content, add a page break by calling the Paragraph.AppendBreak(BreakType.PageBreak) method, apply the previously created paragraph style, and then insert this paragraph into the document.
- Save the resulting document using the Document.SaveToFile() method.

using Spire.Doc.Pages;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
namespace SpireDocDemo
{
internal class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create a new document object
Document document = new Document();
// Load the sample document from a file
document.LoadFromFile("Sample.docx");
// Create a fixed layout document object
FixedLayoutDocument layoutDoc = new FixedLayoutDocument(document);
// Get the first page
FixedLayoutPage page = layoutDoc.Pages[0];
// Get the body of the document
Body body = page.Section.Body;
// Get the last paragraph of the current page
Paragraph paragraphEnd = page.Columns[0].Lines[page.Columns[0].Lines.Count - 1].Paragraph;
// Initialize the end index
int endIndex = 0;
if (paragraphEnd != null)
{
// Get the index of the last paragraph
endIndex = body.ChildObjects.IndexOf(paragraphEnd);
}
// Create a new paragraph style
ParagraphStyle paragraphStyle = new ParagraphStyle(document);
paragraphStyle.Name = "CustomParagraphStyle1";
paragraphStyle.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacing = 12;
paragraphStyle.ParagraphFormat.AfterSpacing = 8;
paragraphStyle.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Microsoft YaHei";

// Apply the paragraph style
paragraph.ApplyStyle(paragraphStyle.Name);
// Insert the paragraph at the specified position
body.ChildObjects.Insert(endIndex + 1, paragraph);
// Create another new paragraph
paragraph = new Paragraph(document);
paragraph.AppendText("To experience our product more fully, we provide a one-month temporary license free of charge to each of our customers. Please send an email to sales@e-iceblue.com, and we will send the license to you within one working day.");
// Apply the paragraph style
paragraph.ApplyStyle(paragraphStyle.Name);
// Add a page break
paragraph.AppendBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);
// Insert the paragraph at the specified position
body.ChildObjects.Insert(endIndex + 2, paragraph);
// Save the document to the specified path
document.SaveToFile("Insert a Page.docx", Spire.Doc.FileFormat.Docx);
// Close and release the original document
document.Close();

Delete a Page from a Word Document using C#
To delete the content of a page, first determine the index positions of the starting and ending elements of that page in the document. Then, you can utilize a loop to systematically remove these elements one by one. The detailed steps are as follows:
- Create a Document object.
- Load a Word document using the Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Create a FixedLayoutDocument object.
- Obtain the FixedLayoutPage object of the first page in the document.
- Use the FixedLayoutPage.Section property to get the section where the page is located.
- Determine the index position of the first paragraph on the page within the section.
- Determine the index position of the last paragraph on the page within the section.
- Use a for loop to remove the content of the page one by one.
- Save the resulting document using the Document.SaveToFile() method.
- C#
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Pages;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
namespace SpireDocDemo
{
internal class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create a new document object
Document document = new Document();
// Load the sample document from a file
document.LoadFromFile("Sample.docx");
// Create a fixed layout document object
FixedLayoutDocument layoutDoc = new FixedLayoutDocument(document);
// Get the second page
FixedLayoutPage page = layoutDoc.Pages[1];
// Get the section of the page
Section section = page.Section;
// Get the first paragraph on the first page
Paragraph paragraphStart = page.Columns[0].Lines[0].Paragraph;
int startIndex = 0;
if (paragraphStart != null)
{
// Get the index of the starting paragraph
startIndex = section.Body.ChildObjects.IndexOf(paragraphStart);
}
// Get the last paragraph on the last page
Paragraph paragraphEnd = page.Columns[0].Lines[page.Columns[0].Lines.Count - 1].Paragraph;
int endIndex = 0;
if (paragraphEnd != null)
{
// Get the index of the ending paragraph
endIndex = section.Body.ChildObjects.IndexOf(paragraphEnd);
}
// Delete all content within the specified range
for (int i = 0; i <= (endIndex - startIndex); i++)
{
section.Body.ChildObjects.RemoveAt(startIndex);
}
// Save the document to the specified path
document.SaveToFile("Delete a Page.docx", Spire.Doc.FileFormat.Docx);
// Close and release the original document
document.Close();
document.Dispose();
}
}
}
