            AnnotationConfig cfg = new AnnotationConfig();
            cfg.StoragePath = "TestData";

            AnnotationImageHandler annotator = new AnnotationImageHandler(cfg);
            if (!Directory.Exists(cfg.StoragePath))
            {
                Directory.CreateDirectory(cfg.StoragePath);

            AnnotationInfo[] annotations = annotator.ImportAnnotations(stream, DocumentType.Words);


            //export imported annotation to another document (just for check)
            Stream clearDocument = new FileStream("../../AddAnnotationsWords.TestData.Clear.docx", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
            Stream output = annotator.ExportAnnotationsToDocument(clearDocument, annotations.ToList(), DocumentType.Words);

            using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream("../../Annotated.docx", FileMode.Create))
            {
                byte[] buffer = new byte[output.Length];
                output.Seek(0L, SeekOrigin.Begin);
                output.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
                fileStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
                fileStream.Close();
