HOW TO add a header or footer to a dynamically generated Word document

Image
There was a question recently on my CodeProject article "Dynamically generate a MS Word document using HTML & CSS" . The article describes how to generate a Word document programmatically without using any components, by exploiting the formatting features exposed through Office XML and CSS.

The whole database has millions of products, and let's say you only want the products recorded as being sold or available in one country like India. There are multiple ways to extract a subset of the OFF database.
