Single Row Image in Word Processing Document Leave feedback

Note

In this article, we will use GroupDocs.Assembly to generate a Single Row Image report in Word Processing Document format based on the use case: Working with a Business Case.

Note

The code uses some of the objects defined in The Business Layer.

Please follow below steps to create a Single Row Image in MS Word 2013:

1. Insert the desired shape to display image in it.
2. Go to Insert Tab and select shape by clicking on Shape Icon.
3. Write “Name” and “Contact Number” to show name and contact info of the customer.
4. Save the template.

As a report developer, you are required to represent information of first single customer with the following key requirements:

• The report must show image of the customer
• It must show Name and Contact Number of the customer
• The report must be generated in the Word Processing Document.

Note

See how to use images in MS Word here.

Please download the sample Single Row document we created in this article:

• Single Row.docx

Warning

Use this template for DB, Dataset, JSON and XML examples also.

OpenDocument Text (ODT) is a word processing document format which can be used as an alternative to Microsoft Word Document (DOC/DOCX) formats. Since ODT is not a Microsoft Proprietary format, there are multiple software (including Microsoft Office and Apache OpenOffice) available to create, open, edit and save this format. For more information on the available software to work with ODT, please visit wikipedia article.

In this topic, we’ll not reinvent the wheel to recreate a template for generating an ‘Single Row’ report in ODT format. Instead, we’ll save the existing template to ODT format using Microsoft Office. In order to achieve this; assuming you are using Microsoft Office 2010, please follow below steps:

1. Open existing template we created in previous topic.
2. Click “File” and select “Save As”.
3. Select “OpenDocument Text” from “Save As Type” drop down.
4. Click “Save”.

• Single Row_OpenDocument.odt (use same template for database, dataset, JSON and XML examples)

In order to check compatibility of ODT between Microsoft Office 2010 and Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2, we performed below tests:

• We opened the ODT template created through Microsoft Office 2010 in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2. The template opened successfully in Apache OpenOffice without any issues or formatting losses.
• We opened the ODT report generated through GroupDocs.Assembly in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2. The report opened successfully in Apache OpenOffice without any issues or formatting losses.
