Thanks for your query. Please use the following code snippet to add text box in your document.
// Create or open document.
Document doc = new Document();
// Create textbox shape.
Shape textbox = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.TextBox);
textbox.Width = 300;
textbox.Height = 300;
textbox.Left = 100;
textbox.Top = 100;
Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(doc);
paragraph.AppendChild(new Run(doc, "Test"));
// Insert paragraph into the textbox.
textbox.AppendChild(paragraph);
// Insert textbox into the document.
doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.AppendChild(textbox);
doc.Save(MyDir + "AsposeOut.docx");
Hope this helps you. Please let us know if you have any more queries.
Thanks for response.
What I need is to add a peice of text (this will be converted to barcode by using a39r Normal font) onto the same position on each page of a document. This text will be made up as follows
*{PersonID - 8 digit with leading zeros}{LetterID - 8 digit with leading zeros}{PageNumber - 2 digit with leading zero)*
ie *000012340000567801* on page one *000012340000567802* on page two etc
The code I went with for my test is pasted below
What I find is that when I print directly from aspose using doc.Print command I get the following
*00001234000056781* on page one and *00001234000056782* on page two. Note that the leading zeros are missing from PageNumber part of text
If instead of printing directly I save the file using doc.Save command, I end up with a document that has *000012340000567801* on page one and *000012340000567802* on page two; note the leading zeros on the PageNumber part.
I need to know how to ensure that when I print directly using doc.print, that the leading zeros remain on the PageNumber part of my text

Hi,
Thanks for your query. It would be great if you please share your document for investigation purposes.
I have attached a zip file containing two files.
Template.doc is is the document that I open and add text box to. This is a blank word document created from word 2003.
Out.doc is the file created on line doc.Save("C:\Temp\TZ\out.doc"). In this document you will see that there is a leading zero before the PageNumber part of the data in the textbox at the bottom of the page. When this document is printed on the line before doc.Print("\\svr-prt-que01\Xerox Mono"), this leading zero is missing. If out.doc is opened and printed using MS Word 2003 then the leading zero prints
Hi,
Thanks for sharing the details. I have tested the scenario and have not found any issue while using latest version of Aspose.Words for .NET. Please use the latest version of Aspose.Words for .NET.
