{remarks}You cannot create a new {{Position}} object using the {{new}} keyword. You must get a {{Position}} object using the [GetPosition()|Element.GetPosition(Int32)] method of the {{Element}} class \(or the [Document|Document] class, which inherits from {{Element}} \). This method takes a parameter that represents the relative offset from the start of this Element to point at which to get the Position.

The following sample gets a {{Position}} object from the start of a {{Document}}.

{example}{code:csharp|title=C#}

          WordApplication app = new WordApplication();
          Document doc = app.Create();
          Position pos = doc.GetPosition(0);
        {code}
{code:vb.net|title=vb.net}

          Dim app As New WordApplication()
          Dim doc As Document = app.Create()
          Dim pos As Position = doc.GetPosition(0)
        {code}
