How to Insert text in the end of the document

Question

I am trying to insert text into the word document. But whenever i execute my code the text enter by me in the text box is always added in the beginning. I am unable to insert the text in the end of the document. I am unable to fix this using Range also.

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { try { if (textBox1.Text != "") { Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Application oWord; object oMissing = Type.Missing; oWord = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application(); oWord.Visible = false; oWord.Documents.Open(filePath); oWord.Selection.TypeText(textBox1.Text); oWord.ActiveDocument.Save(); oWord.Quit(); MessageBox.Show("The text is inserted."); textBox1.Text = ""; } else { MessageBox.Show("Please give some text in the text box"); } } catch(Exception) { MessageBox.Show("Please right click on the window and provide the path"); } }

Move to the end of the document with these two commands: ActiveDocument.Characters.Last.Select then Selection.Collapse — stuartd

Line 1 and Line 2 in the below code helps me. The following code works fine.

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { try { if (textBox1.Text != "") { Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Application oWord; object oMissing = Type.Missing; oWord = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application(); oWord.Visible = false; oWord.Documents.Open(filePath); oWord.ActiveDocument.Characters.Last.Select(); // Line 1 oWord.Selection.Collapse(); // Line 2 oWord.Selection.TypeText(textBox1.Text); oWord.ActiveDocument.Save(); oWord.Quit(); MessageBox.Show("The text is inserted."); textBox1.Text = ""; } else { MessageBox.Show("Please give some text in the text box"); } } catch(Exception) { MessageBox.Show("Please right click on the window and provide the path"); } }

You have to use append method to add the text within the same line rather than entering in next line Ex:

File.AppendAllText(@"c:\path\file.txt", textBox1.Text);

This might help

He is working with a word object and not a simple text file.
