Hi it is hard to guess what you are actually looking for you need to be more specific. Do you want to screen shot your WinForms app and insert that image into a new document or do you want to translate the controls used in your form into a document controls or something else? Nevertheless when I have a .DOCX related requirement in .NET I use this Word library written in C# so that I can avoid hassle with unmanaged word automation in C# which comes with MS Office. For the first scenario here is how you can create your word documents in .NET  documents will only include the screenshots: private void btnExport_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { var bmp = new Bitmap ( this .Width this .Height); this .DrawToBitmap(bmp new Rectangle (0 0 bmp.Width bmp.Height)); using ( var image = new MemoryStream ()) { bmp.Save(image ImageFormat .Png); var doc = new DocumentModel (); doc.Sections.Add( new Section (doc new Paragraph (doc new Picture (doc image)))); doc.Save( Document.docx ); } } For the second scenario I believe it would be quite some task to write this mapping so as an alternative I would advise you to check out a mail merging feature of word files in C# .
