This topics section offers best practices and guides to compliment the tutorials section. While the tutorials focuses on how to do something, the topics section focuses on when you use certain techniques, and why.

Inserting elements using WordApplication

Each of the elements listed in the document tree structure inherit from the Element class, which provides most of the methods for inserting new elements into a document. WordApplication will allow you to call any Insert method on almost any type of element, but the behavior of that method will change depending on what type of element the method is called on and what type of element the method is inserting
