Inserting paragraphs in Word is a fundamental skill for creating well-structured and organized documents. Paragraphs can break down large blocks of text, making it easier for readers to follow the flow of ideas and find specific information. In Word, you can add new paragraphs to represent new ideas or add additional information. This article will demonstrate how to insert a new paragraph in Word in C# using Spire.Doc for .NET.

Add a Paragraph at the End of a Word Document in C#
To add a new paragraph at the end, you need to get the last section of the Word document through the Document.LastSection property, and then add a paragraph at the end of the section through the Section.AddParagraph() method. The following are the detailed steps:
- Create a Document instance.
- Load a Word document using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Get the last section of the document using Document.LastSection property.
- Add a paragraph at the end of the section using Section.AddParagraph() method, and then add text to it using Paragraph.AppendText() method.
- Create a ParagraphStyle object and set the font name, size, style of the paragraph text.
- Apply the paragraph style using Paragraph.ApplyStyle() method
- Save the result document using Document.SaveToFile() method.
- C#
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using System.Drawing;
namespace AddParagraph
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a Document object
Document doc = new Document();
//Load a Word document
doc.LoadFromFile("Test.docx");
//Get the last section
Section section = doc.LastSection;
//Add a paragraph at the end and set its text content
Paragraph para = section.AddParagraph();
para.AppendText("Add a paragraph to the end of the document.");
//Set the paragraph style
ParagraphStyle style = new ParagraphStyle(doc);
style.Name = "Style1";
style.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Times New Roman";
style.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 12;
style.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Blue;
style.CharacterFormat.Bold = true;
doc.Styles.Add(style);
para.ApplyStyle("Style1");
para.Format.BeforeSpacing = 10;
//Save the result file
doc.SaveToFile("AddParagraph.docx", FileFormat.Docx2016);
}
}
}
Insert a Paragraph at a Specified Location in Word in C#
You can also add a paragraph and then insert it to a specified position through the Section.Paragraphs.Insert(int index, IParagraph paragraph) method. The following are the detailed steps:
- Create a Document instance.
- Load a Word document using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Get a specified section using Document.Sections[] property.
- Add a paragraph using Section.AddParagraph() method, and then add text to it using Paragraph.AppendText() method.
- Set the font name, size, style of the paragraph text.
- Insert the newly added paragraph at a specified index using Section.Paragraphs.Insert(int index, IParagraph paragraph) method.
- Save the result document using Document.SaveToFile() method.
- C#
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using Spire.Doc.Fields;
using System.Drawing;
namespace InsertParagraph
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a Document object
Document doc = new Document();
//Load a Word document
doc.LoadFromFile("Test.docx");
//Get the first section
Section section = doc.Sections[0];
//Add a paragraph and set its text content
Paragraph para = section.AddParagraph();
TextRange textRange = para.AppendText("Insert a paragraph at a specified location in the Word document.");
//Set the font name, size, color and style
textRange.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Blue;
textRange.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Times New Roman";
textRange.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 14;
textRange.CharacterFormat.UnderlineStyle = UnderlineStyle.Single;
//Insert the paragraph as the third paragraph
section.Paragraphs.Insert(2, para);
//Set spacing after the paragraph
para.Format.AfterSpacing = 10;
//Save the result file
doc.SaveToFile("InsertParagraph.docx", FileFormat.Docx2016);
}
}
}
