Add a Caption to a Table or Figure in OpenXml

Answer 1

Here is the method I used to create Captions. Basically, create a SimpleField and append it to the paragraph.

public Paragraph CreateCaption( string caption, string name )
        {
            Run run = new Run( new Text() { Text= name + " ", Space = SpaceProcessingModeValues.Preserve } );
            SimpleField simpleField = new SimpleField( new Run( new RunProperties( new NoProof() ), new Text() { Text= " ", Space = SpaceProcessingModeValues.Preserve } ) );
            simpleField.Instruction = @"SEQ " + name;
            Run runLabel = new Run( new Text() { Text= " " + caption, Space = SpaceProcessingModeValues.Preserve } );

            ParagraphProperties captionPr = new ParagraphProperties( new ParagraphStyleId() { Val = "Caption" } );
            Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph();
            paragraph.ParagraphProperties = captionPr;
            paragraph.Append( run );
            paragraph.Append( simpleField );
            paragraph.Append( runLabel );
            return paragraph;
        }
