Import Namespaces

First things first, let’s import the necessary namespaces. This is where all the magic begins.

using Aspose.Words;
using Aspose.Words.Tables;
using System;

Step 1: Setting Up the Document Directory

Alright, let’s start by setting up the path to our document directory. This is where your Word document will be saved.

string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";

Replace "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY" with the actual path where you want to save your document.

Step 2: Creating a New Document

Next, we need to create a new instance of the Document class. Think of this as your blank canvas where you can start adding your content.

Document doc = new Document();

Step 3: Initializing the DocumentBuilder

The DocumentBuilder is like your paintbrush. It helps you add content to your document. Let’s initialize it.

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Step 4: Writing Content to the First Page

Let’s add some content to the first page. This is where you can get creative.

builder.Writeln("This is page 1.");

Step 5: Inserting a Page Break

Now comes the fun part. We need to insert a page break to move to the next page. It’s as simple as calling the InsertBreak method.

builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);

Step 6: Writing Content to the Second Page

After inserting the page break, let’s add some content to the second page.

builder.Writeln("This is page 2.");

Step 7: Inserting Another Page Break

Let’s insert another page break to move to the third page.

builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);

Step 8: Writing Content to the Third Page

Finally, let’s add some content to the third page.

builder.Writeln("This is page 3.");

Step 9: Saving the Document

Last but not least, we need to save our document. This is where all your hard work comes together.

doc.Save(dataDir + "AddContentUsingDocumentBuilder.InsertBreak.docx");

And there you have it! You’ve successfully created a Word document and inserted page breaks using Aspose.Words for .NET.
