the question is :

Is there any method to finish my idea? thanks !
by the way, I was use the Microsoft access barcode 9.0 to do by VBA. but that work is not good after reopen the file.

You can use:
var newContentControl = currentRange.ContentControls.Add();
newContentControl.SetPlaceholderText(null, null, "Empty");
newContentControl.Title = elementType.ToString();

You must set the range to the location where you want to insert the content control or use WordApplication.Selection.Range to get the current range.
