// Load an existing Word document
var docxCurrent = new WordDocument("existing.docx");

// Or initiate a new Word document
var docxNew = new WordDocument();

// Creating a new paragraph with custom text
Paragraph newParagraph = new Paragraph();
var textContent = new Text()
{
    Text = "Welcome to IronWord!"
};
newParagraph.AddText(textContent);

docxCurrent.AddParagraph(newParagraph);

// Including an image within a paragraph
Image newImage = new Image("example.jpg");
newImage.Width = 200;  // Specify width in pixels
newImage.Height = 200; // Specify height in pixels

newParagraph = new Paragraph();

// Add the image
newParagraph.AddImage(newImage);

docxCurrent.AddParagraph(newParagraph);

// Overwrite the existing document
