## Purpose Summary

This page describes how to create an empty document using NPOI and compares its behavior to Aspose.Words document creation.

{{% /alert %}}

## Aspose.Words - Create Empty Document

Call the Document constructor without parameters to create a new blank document.

If you want to generate a document programmatically, the most reasonable step after creation is to use **DocumentBuilder** to add document contents.

**C#**

{{< highlight csharp >}}
using Aspose.Words;
Document doc = new Document();
doc.Save("blank.docx");
{{< /highlight >}}

## NPOI HWPF XWPF - Create Empty Document

Below example shows how to create a new document using NPOI XWPF

**C#**

{{< highlight csharp >}}
using NPOI.XWPF.UserModel;
XWPFDocument doc = new XWPFDocument();
doc.CreateParagraph();
using (FileStream sw = File.Create("blank.docx"))
{
    doc.Write(sw);
}
{{< /highlight >}}
