Word header and footer presents additional information of Word document, which can be text, image or page number. This guide focuses on introducing how to insert image header and footer for Word document in C# and VB.NET.
Header/Footer plays an important role in Word document, which uses text, image or page number to demonstrate some additional information about this document. The information can be company name, logo, author name, document title etc. This guide will demonstrate detailed process to insert image header/footer in Word with C# and VB.NET via Spire.Doc for .NET. The following screenshot displays Word image header/footer result after programming.
Spire.Doc for .NET provides a HeaderFooter. class to enable developers to generate a new header or footer. Firstly, initialize a header instance of HeaderFooter class and then invoke AddParagraph() method to add a paragraph body for this header/footer instance. Next, invoke Paragraph.AppendPicture(Image image) method to append a picture for header/footer paragraph. If you want to add text for paragraph as well, please invoke Paragraph.AppendText(string text) method. Also, you can set format for header/footer paragraph, appended image and text to have a better layout. Code as following:
using System.Drawing;
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using Spire.Doc.Fields;
namespace ImageHeaderFooter
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Load Document
Document document = new Document();
document.LoadFromFile(@"E:\Work\Documents\Spire.Doc for .NET.docx");
//Initialize a Header Instance
HeaderFooter header = document.Sections[0].HeadersFooters.Header;
//Add Header Paragraph and Format
Paragraph paragraph = header.AddParagraph();
paragraph.Format.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;
//Append Picture for Header Paragraph and Format
DocPicture headerimage = paragraph.AppendPicture(Image.FromFile(@"E:\Logo\doclog.png"));
headerimage.VerticalAlignment = ShapeVerticalAlignment.Bottom;
//Initialize a Footer Instance
HeaderFooter footer = document.Sections[0].HeadersFooters.Footer;
//Add Footer Paragraph and Format
Paragraph paragraph2 = footer.AddParagraph();
paragraph2.Format.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
//Append Picture and Text for Footer Paragraph
DocPicture footerimage = paragraph2.AppendPicture(Image.FromFile(@"E:\Logo\logo.jpeg"));
TextRange TR = paragraph2.AppendText("Copyright © 2013 e-iceblue. All Rights Reserved.");
TR.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Arial";
TR.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 10;
TR.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Black;
//Save and Launch
document.SaveToFile("ImageHeaderFooter.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("ImageHeaderFooter.docx");
}
}
}
