DocXPlus

Similar to DocX but based on the Open XML SDK instead of directly working with the underlying XML. The Open XML SDK is very powerful but requires a significant amount of coding. This library provides an abstraction layer greatly reducing the amount of code you have to write and maintain.

This initial phase is very much a minimum viable product, only implementing features as they are required. Currently there is no support for reading existing Word documents.

Stay tuned, under development

Some Code

Create Using Default Stream

using (var doc = new DocX())
{
    doc.Create();

    doc.AddParagraph().Append(LoremIpsum);

    using (var stream = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Create))
    {
        doc.SaveAs(stream);
    }
}

Different Page Orientation After Section Break

var doc = DocX.Create(filename, DocumentType.Document);
doc.Orientation = PageOrientation.Landscape;

doc.AddParagraph().Append("Landscape");

doc.InsertSectionPageBreak();
doc.Orientation = PageOrientation.Portrait;

doc.AddParagraph().Append("Portrait");

doc.InsertSectionPageBreak();
doc.Orientation = PageOrientation.Landscape;

doc.AddParagraph().Append("Landscape");

doc.Close();

Different Headers and Footers After Section Break

var doc = DocX.Create(filename, DocumentType.Document);

doc.AddHeaders();
doc.AddFooters();

doc.DefaultHeader.AddParagraph().Append("Header 1");
doc.DefaultFooter.AddParagraph().Append("Footer 1");

doc.InsertSectionPageBreak();

doc.AddHeaders();
doc.AddFooters();

doc.DefaultHeader.AddParagraph().Append("Header 2");
doc.DefaultFooter.AddParagraph().Append("Footer 2");

doc.InsertSectionPageBreak();

doc.AddHeaders();
doc.AddFooters();

doc.DefaultHeader.AddParagraph().Append("Header 3");
doc.DefaultFooter.AddParagraph().Append("Footer 3");

doc.Close();

You can also add page numbers to the footer

doc.AddFooters();

doc.DefaultFooter
    .AddParagraph()
    .Append("Page ")
    .AppendPageNumber(PageNumberFormat.Normal)
    .Append(" of ")
    .AppendPageCount(PageNumberFormat.Normal)
    .Bold()
    .Alignment = Align.Center;

Tables

 var doc = DocX.Create(filename, DocumentType.Document);

var table = doc.AddTable(5);

for (int i = 0; i < 50; i++)
{
    var row = table.AddRow();
    row.SetBorders(Units.HalfPt, BorderValue.Single);

    if (i == 0)
    {
        // shade the first row and set as a header
        row.SetShading("E7E6E6");

        row.HeaderRow = true;
    }

    for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++)
    {
        row.Cells[j].Paragraphs[0].Append($"Cell {(j + 1)}");
    }
}

doc.Close();
