WordWriter support for text boxes

Problem

You have a word Document that contains texboxes. You want to know if WordWriter supports modifying or creating textboxes.

Solution

WordTemplate will populate any merge fields that are placed inside of a text box. This is largely because WordTemplate does not parse the full document and ignores the locations of merge fields.

If you need to search for and replace text that appears in text boxes, you can do so with the WordTemplate object. More details are available in this post.

Unfortunately, WordApplication does not support creating or modifying text boxes. The full list of elements recognized by WordApplication is outlined in this documentation article.
