Hi

Thanks for your request. You can use the DocumentBuilder.InsertImage method to insert images into word document. See the following link for more information.

Thanks for quick reply! But previously i used to insert text to a microsoft word document by using an option called merge fields in the document.

The code which i am using for that purpose is

Aspose.Words.Document doc = new Aspose.Words.Document(strFilePath + @"\DossierTemplate.doc");

doc.MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegions(dtExecutiveIdleProfile);

doc.MailMerge.Execute(drNewLoc);

String[] str = doc.MailMerge.GetFieldNames();

doc.Save(@strFilePath + @"\Report\" + strFileName, Aspose.Words.SaveFormat.Doc);

But now i need to add some images in between the texts. So which option i need to take in the microsoft word document and what is the required code from aspose.

Sincerely,

Manikanta

Hi

Thanks for your request. You should insert into your template MergeField with name <> for example. Then use the following code.

public void TestImageMailMerge()

{

Document doc = new Document(@"046_ikarussoft\in.doc");

string[] keys = { "myImage" };

string[] values = { "test.jpg" };

doc.MailMerge.MergeImageField += new MergeImageFieldEventHandler(HandleMergeImage);

doc.MailMerge.Execute(keys, values);

doc.Save(@"046_ikarussoft\out.doc");

}

private void HandleMergeImage(object sender, MergeImageFieldEventArgs e)

{

if (e.FieldName == "myImage")

{

string shortFileName = e.FieldValue as string;

//you should get arrey of bytes from your database

e.ImageFileName = System.IO.Path.Combine(@"046_ikarussoft\images", shortFileName);

}

Also see the following link.

I hope that it will help you.

Hi

Thanks for additional information. Try to use the following code.

public void TestmailMarge_94341()

{

Document doc = new Document(@"185_94341_Saahi\in.doc");

string[] keys = { "myImage" };

string[] values = { "test.bmp" };

doc.MailMerge.MergeImageField += new MergeImageFieldEventHandler(HandleMergeImage_94341);

doc.MailMerge.Execute(keys, values);

doc.Save(@"185_94341_Saahi\out1.doc");

}

private void HandleMergeImage_94341(object sender, MergeImageFieldEventArgs e)

{

if (e.FieldName == "myImage")

{

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(e.Document);

builder.MoveToField(e.Field, true);

e.Field.Remove();

string shortFileName = e.FieldValue as string;

string filename = System.IO.Path.Combine(@"185_94341_Saahi\", shortFileName);

Image image = Image.FromFile(filename);

Shape shape = new Shape(e.Document, ShapeType.Image);

shape.ImageData.SetImage(image);

shape.WrapType = WrapType.Inline;

shape.Height = builder.CurrentSection.PageSetup.PageHeight - builder.CurrentSection.PageSetup.TopMargin - builder.CurrentSection.PageSetup.BottomMargin;

shape.Width = builder.CurrentSection.PageSetup.PageWidth - builder.CurrentSection.PageSetup.LeftMargin - builder.CurrentSection.PageSetup.RightMargin;

shape.Rotation = -90;

builder.InsertNode(shape);

}

}

I hope that it will help you.

Best regards.

Hi

You can modify this code like following.

if (e.FieldName == "myImage" || e.FieldName == "myImage1" || e.FieldName == "myImage3")

Or use the following method to resize image.

///

/// Resize source image to specifed sze

///

/// Source image

/// Target width

/// Target height

/// Resized image

private Image ResizeImage(Image sourceImage, int targetWidth, int targetHeight)

{

float ratioWidth = (float)sourceImage.Width / targetWidth;

float ratioHeight = (float)sourceImage.Height / targetHeight;

if (ratioWidth > ratioHeight)

targetHeight = (int)(targetHeight * (ratioHeight / ratioWidth));

else

{

if (ratioWidth < ratioHeight)

targetWidth = (int)(targetWidth * (ratioWidth / ratioHeight));

}

Image outputImage = sourceImage.GetThumbnailImage(targetWidth, targetHeight, null, new IntPtr());

return outputImage;

}

I hope that it will help you.

Best regards.

Thanks for quick reply but it is not working. will you please see the following code and suggest me the changes?

public void TestImageMailMerge()

Best regards.

#19

Thanks for your replu. But where i can set the page orientation=lanscape. I have the image in landscape. I need that top text also should be in landscape direction. Can you be bit clear.

Please find the attachmet for the report. You can find the difference between the two image. I want the top one exactly equalent to bottom image. See the highlighted part of bottom for difference.

I think you know exactly what i want now. Will you please support me regarding this issue.

#20

Hi

Sorry for my poor explanation. See the following link to learn how to set page orientation.

http://wordprocessing.about.com/od/wordprocessingsoftware/l/blOrientation.htm

Also, you can insert table into your template. Table should have one row with two cells. Click on the first cell of table, select “Text Direction” in the context menu and then select direction of text that you want. Insert your image in the second cell. Also disable borders of the table. See attached file.

Best regards.
