Create word documents in C#

Question

I am trying to create word documents using Microsoft office interops. The document should contain a picture and some table content below. But when i add the content it doesn't get added the way I require.

I have provided the sample code below.

MSWord.Application oWordApp;
MSWord.Document oWordDoc;
oWordApp = new MSWord.Application();
oWordApp.Visible = true;
oWordApp.WindowState = MSWord.WdWindowState.wdWindowStateMinimize;
oWordDoc = oWordApp.Documents.Add(ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

object start = 0;
object end = 0;

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range oRange = oWordDoc.Range(ref start,ref end);

oWordDoc.InlineShapes.AddPicture(imagepath, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, oRange);

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Table tbl = oWordDoc.Tables.Add(oRange, 10, 2, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
Random rnd = new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    tbl.Rows[i + 1].Cells[1].Range.Text = "Item#";
    tbl.Rows[i + 1].Cells[2].Range.Text = "Sample";
}

oWordDoc.SaveAs(svd.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);

The image gets added to the first cell of the table. – user1417294 Sep 11 '12 at 10:02 — user1417294, Sep 11 '12 at 10:02

Have you tried mail merge? This way you can have a word template set and you can position your images and table just like you want. Then you only have to worry about merging your input fields with the template. And this way you can have multiple templates for different word documents if required. Here's an example:

Mail merge is a better option if you want control over formatting. – Anshuman Jasrotia Sep 11 '12 at 10:23
And that is exactly my point as well. Once the template's been set (formatting, positioning items, setting fonts, etc.), all that needs to be taken care of is the merging with the input. – DarK Sep 11 '12 at 10:46
