There are some requirements to export datatable or dataset to word file on many occasions at work. The aim of this article is to help you complete this requirement. Spire.DataExport can help easily load data from the datatable and create a new Word file for storing the data. In addition to this, Spire.DataExport (or Spire.Office) can export data into MS Excel, HTML, XML, PDF, MS Access, DBF, SQL Script, SYLK, DIF, CSV and MS Clipboard format as well, which can be downloaded here.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            oleDbConnection1.ConnectionString = txtConnectString.Text;
            oleDbCommand1.CommandText = txtCommandText.Text;
            using (OleDbDataAdapter da = new OleDbDataAdapter())
            {
                da.SelectCommand = oleDbCommand1;
                da.SelectCommand.Connection = oleDbConnection1;
                DataTable dt = new DataTable();
                da.Fill(dt);
                dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;
            }
