Images are frequently used in Word documents to make them intuitive, to express ideas that are hard to express in words, or just to make them beautiful. This article provides you a convenient and efficient way to insert images to Word documents under the help of Spire.Doc for Java.

  • Set the text wrapping style of the image as Square using DocPicture.setTextWrappingStyle() method.
  • Insert the image at the start of the second paragraph using Paragraph.getChildObjects().insert() method.
  • Save the document using Document.saveToFile method.

        Document doc = new Document();

        //Load a Word document from disk
        doc.loadFromFile("D:/Samples/Sample.docx");

        //Create an object of DocPicture class
        DocPicture picture = new DocPicture(doc);

        //Load an image from disk
