embeddedFile.Description = "Contract terms and conditions";
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(embeddedFile.Description))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Description: {embeddedFile.Description}");
}

SaveSettings saveSettings = new() { EmbeddedFiles = new[] { embeddedFile } };
textControl.Save("contract-with-attachment.docx", StreamType.WordprocessingML, saveSettings);
```

```vbnet
Dim embeddedFile As New EmbeddedFile("terms.pdf", "Attachments\terms.pdf", "application/pdf")

embeddedFile.Description = "Contract terms and conditions"
If Not String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(embeddedFile.Description) Then
    Console.WriteLine($"Description: {embeddedFile.Description}")
End If

Dim saveSettings As New SaveSettings() With { .EmbeddedFiles = New EmbeddedFile() { embeddedFile } }
