Hi David,

Thanks for your inquiry. I believe, you can achieve what you’re looking for after using the following code snippet:

Document doc = new Document();
Shape textBox = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.TextBox);
textBox.WrapType = WrapType.None;
textBox.RelativeHorizontalPosition = RelativeHorizontalPosition.Page;
textBox.RelativeVerticalPosition = RelativeVerticalPosition.Page;
textBox.Height = 50;
textBox.Width = 200;
textBox.Top = ConvertUtil.InchToPoint(1);
textBox.Left = ConvertUtil.InchToPoint(5.5);
textBox.AppendChild(new Paragraph(doc));
Paragraph para = textBox.FirstParagraph;
para.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
Run run = new Run(doc);
run.Text = "Content in textbox";
para.AppendChild(run);
doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.AppendChild(textBox);
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.doc");

I hope, this helps.

Best regards,
