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# .
