Please try this code. I have attached the sample project also(vs 2010 version). Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application WordApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application(); object WordFile = @"C:\Users\muralidharand\Documents\Name.docx"; object RdOnly = false; object Visible = true; object Missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value; Document Doc = WordApp.Documents.Open(ref WordFile, ref Missing, ref RdOnly, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Visible, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing); Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Table mytable = Doc.Tables[1]; foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Row item in mytable.Rows) { TableRow row = new TableRow(); for(int i =1;i { TableCell tablecell = new TableCell(); Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Cell cell = item.Cells[i]; if (i == 1) { tablecell.Text = cell.Range.Text; } else { TextBox text = new TextBox(); text.Text = cell.Range.Text; tablecell.Controls.Add(text); } row.Cells.Add(tablecell); } Table1.Rows.Add(row); } WordApp.Documents.Close(ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing); Doc = null; WordApp = null; Hope this helps you.

Its worked. There is a small change in the code that is used to determine to display the textbox or label. Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application WordApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application(); object WordFile = @"C:\Users\muralidharand\Documents\Name.docx"; object RdOnly = false; object Visible = true; object Missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value; Document Doc = WordApp.Documents.Open(ref WordFile, ref Missing, ref RdOnly, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Visible, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing); Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Table mytable = Doc.Tables[1]; foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Row item in mytable.Rows) { TableRow row = new TableRow(); for(int i =1;i { TableCell tablecell = new TableCell(); Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Cell cell = item.Cells[i]; if (i == 1 || i==2 ) { tablecell.Text = cell.Range.Text; } else { TextBox text = new TextBox(); text.Text = cell.Range.Text; tablecell.Controls.Add(text); } row.Cells.Add(tablecell); } Table1.Rows.Add(row); } WordApp.Documents.Close(ref Missing, ref Missing, ref Missing); Doc = null; WordApp = null;
