How to get the height and width of text in word document in C#

By using Spire.Doc, developers can find and highlight the text, extract the text in word document. This article will show you how to get the height and width of text in a word document in C# with the help of Spire.Doc.

Firstly, Download and install Spire.Doc for .NET and then add Spire.Doc.dll as reference in the downloaded Bin folder though the below path: "..\Spire.Doc\Bin\NET4.0\ Spire.Doc.dll". Here comes to the details of how to get the height and width of text in a word document in C#.

Check the original word document at first:

Step 1: Create a new document and load from file.

Document doc = new Document();
doc.LoadFromFile("Word.doc");

Step 2: Define the text string that we need to get the height and width.

string text = "Microsoft Word is a word processor designed by Microsoft.";

Step 3: Get the text string and measure the string.

//finds and returns the string with formatting
TextSelection selection = doc.FindString(text, true, true);
//get the font
Font font = selection.GetAsOneRange().CharacterFormat.Font;
//initialize graphics object
Image fakeImage = new Bitmap(1, 1);
Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(fakeImage);
//measure string
SizeF size = graphics.MeasureString(text, font);

Step 4: Get the text height and width and read it.

Console.WriteLine("text height:{0}",size.Height);
Console.WriteLine("text width:{0}", size.Width);
Console.ReadLine();
