Adding Quotes

You can add quotes from another file in your document using C1Word. You can use following code to add quotes to your document from a text file:

Note that two classes named WordUtils and DataAccess are used in the code given below. These classes are available in the product sample located at the following location on your system:
Documents\ComponentOne Samples\WPF\WordCreator
You can use these classes in your application from the mentioned location.

return list;
}

The above code reads the quotes from a text file and writes them in a document. It adds title to the document at first, then renders the header and body text, and writes the text in the document.

The output of the above code will look similar to the image given below:
