You cannot create a new Element object by using the new keyword. There are various properties

The following sample demonstrates getting an Element object by retrieving a section's header:

          WordApplication app = new WordApplication();
          Document doc = app.Open(@"C:\sample.doc");
          Section sect = doc.Sections[0];
          Element e = sect.GetHeader(Section.HeaderFooterType.All);
        
          Dim app As New WordApplication()
          Dim doc As Document = app.Open("C:\sample.doc")
          Dim sect As Section = doc.Sections(0)
          Dim e As Element = sect.GetHeader(Section.HeaderFooterType.All)
