@muyoungko Sure you can achieve this using Aspose.Words. For example see the following code:

Document doc = new Document();

// Create round shape
Shape roundShape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.Ellipse);
roundShape.StrokeColor = Color.Orange;
roundShape.StrokeWeight = 2;
roundShape.Width = 20;
roundShape.Height = 20;
roundShape.TextBox.InternalMarginTop = 0;
roundShape.TextBox.InternalMarginBottom = 0;
roundShape.TextBox.InternalMarginLeft = 0;
roundShape.TextBox.InternalMarginRight = 0;

// Put content into the round shape.
Paragraph shapeContent = new Paragraph(doc);
shapeContent.ParagraphBreakFont.Size = 8;
Run shapeContentText = new Run(doc, "123");
shapeContentText.Font.Size= 8;
shapeContent.AppendChild(shapeContentText);
roundShape.AppendChild(shapeContent);

// Create an arrow shape
Shape arrowShape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.Line);
arrowShape.Width = 20;
arrowShape.Height = 1;
arrowShape.Stroke.EndArrowType = ArrowType.Open;
arrowShape.StrokeColor = Color.Orange;
arrowShape.StrokeWeight = 2;
arrowShape.Rotation = -10;

// Adjustposition of the shapes.
roundShape.WrapType = WrapType.None;
roundShape.RelativeHorizontalPosition = RelativeHorizontalPosition.Page;
roundShape.RelativeVerticalPosition = RelativeVerticalPosition.Page;
roundShape.Left = 100;
roundShape.Top = 100;

arrowShape.WrapType = WrapType.None;
arrowShape.RelativeHorizontalPosition = RelativeHorizontalPosition.Page;
arrowShape.RelativeVerticalPosition = RelativeVerticalPosition.Page;
arrowShape.Left = 120;
arrowShape.Top = 105;

// Insert the shapes into the document.
doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.AppendChild(roundShape);
doc.FirstSection.Body.FirstParagraph.AppendChild(arrowShape);

doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.docx");

Here is the output document produced by this code: out.docx (7.2 KB)

You can also create such shapes in MS Word and access and change them using Aspose.Words, for example if only text and position should be changed.

Here is my code and out.docx

Circles are not well drawn.

Can you check it?

My gradle is this, and environment is mac and IntelliJ

Document doc = new Document();

// Create round shape
Shape roundShape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.ELLIPSE);
roundShape.setStrokeColor(Color.ORANGE);
roundShape.setStrokeWeight(2);
roundShape.setWidth(20);
roundShape.setWidth(20);
roundShape.getTextBox().setInternalMarginTop(0);
roundShape.getTextBox().setInternalMarginBottom(0);
roundShape.getTextBox().setInternalMarginLeft(0);
roundShape.getTextBox().setInternalMarginRight(0);

// Put content into the round shape.
Paragraph shapeContent = new Paragraph(doc);
shapeContent.getParagraphBreakFont().setSize(8);
Run shapeContentText = new Run(doc, "123");
shapeContentText.getFont().setSize(8);
shapeContent.appendChild(shapeContentText);
roundShape.appendChild(shapeContent);

// Create an arrow shape
Shape arrowShape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.LINE);
arrowShape.setWidth(20);
arrowShape.setHeight(1);
arrowShape.getStroke().setEndArrowType(ArrowType.OPEN);
arrowShape.setStrokeColor(Color.ORANGE);
arrowShape.setStrokeWeight(2);
arrowShape.setRotation(-10);

// Adjustposition of the shapes.
roundShape.setWrapType(WrapType.NONE);
roundShape.setRelativeHorizontalPosition(RelativeHorizontalPosition.PAGE);
roundShape.setRelativeVerticalPosition(RelativeVerticalPosition.PAGE);
roundShape.setLeft(100);

// Insert the shapes into the document.
doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().appendChild(roundShape);
doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().appendChild(arrowShape);

doc.save("out.docx");

@muyoungko There is a mistake in your code. Instead of this:

roundShape.setWidth(20);
roundShape.setWidth(20);

You should use this:

roundShape.setWidth(20);
roundShape.setHeight(20);

I have more question

I want to turn off “Do not rotate text” option, and set “Vertical Alignment” to Middle.

How to do this?

@muyoungko Unfortunately, currently you can only create VML shapes using Aspose.Words public API. I am afraid this kind of shapes does not have such options. These options are available in DML shapes.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-24883) have been fixed in this Aspose.Words for Java 23.3 update.

The following code can be used to specify “Do not rotate text”
[C#]

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder();
Shape shape = builder.InsertShape(ShapeType.Ellipse, 20, 20);
shape.TextBox.NoTextRotation = true;

[Java]

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder();
Shape shape = builder.insertShape(ShapeType.ELLIPSE, 20, 20);
shape.getTextBox().setNoTextRotation(true);
