Hi
Thanks for your request. First of all you should create TextBox, then insert needed content inside this TextBox and then add this textbox to the document. Your code should look like the following:

// Create or open document.
Document doc = new Document();
// Create textbox shape.
Shape textbox = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.TextBox);
textbox.Width = 300;
textbox.Height = 300;
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("C:\\Temp\\out.doc");

Hope this helps.
Best regards.

Hi
Thanks for your request. Shape class is in Aspose.Words.Drawing namespace:
https://reference.aspose.com/words/net/aspose.words.drawing/shape/
You should simply add:

using Aspose.Words.Drawing;

Best regards,
