I am reading the text from word file and replace some text from the readed text.
var wordApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
object file = path;
object nullobj = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
var doc = wordApp.Documents.Open(ref file, ref nullobj, ref nullobj,
ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj,
ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj,
ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj);
doc.ActiveWindow.Selection.WholeStory();
doc.ActiveWindow.Selection.Copy();
IDataObject data = Clipboard.GetDataObject();
var text =data.GetData(DataFormats.Text);
So I have text from original word file, and now I need it to pass to a new word file which not exist (New Text).
I tried
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.FileName = "WINWORD.EXE";
Process.Start(startInfo);
This opens new word file which not saved physically in file system which is fine. But I am not sure how can pass the text value to this new file.
Update
After running above code I tried
var wordApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
var doc = wordApp.ActiveDocument;
Which comes up with "This command is not available because no document is open."
Here is a simple sample that copies the entire text and formatting from one Word document to a new document. In the new document, text is then replaced using Words Find & Replace feature:
using System;
using System.Linq;
using Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
namespace WordCopy
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var fileName = args[0];
var wordApp = new Word.Application();
wordApp.Visible = true;
var document = wordApp.Documents.Open(fileName);
var newDocument = CopyToNewDocument(document);
SearchAndReplaceEverywhere(newDocument, "this", "that");
}
static Word.Document CopyToNewDocument(Word.Document document)
{
document.StoryRanges[Word.WdStoryType.wdMainTextStory].Copy();
var newDocument = document.Application.Documents.Add();
newDocument.StoryRanges[Word.WdStoryType.wdMainTextStory].Paste();
return newDocument;
}
static void SearchAndReplaceEverywhere(
Word.Document document, string find, string replace)
{
foreach (Word.Range storyRange in document.StoryRanges)
{
var range = storyRange;
while (range != null)
{
SearchAndReplaceInStoryRange(range, find, replace);
if (range.ShapeRange.Count > 0)
{
foreach (Word.Shape shape in range.ShapeRange)
{
if (shape.TextFrame.HasText != 0)
{
SearchAndReplaceInStoryRange(
shape.TextFrame.TextRange, find, replace);
}
}
}
range = range.NextStoryRange;
}
}
}
static void SearchAndReplaceInStoryRange(
Word.Range range, string find, string replace)
{
range.Find.ClearFormatting();
range.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting();
range.Find.Text = find;
range.Find.Replacement.Text = replace;
range.Find.Wrap = Word.WdFindWrap.wdFindContinue;
range.Find.Execute(Replace: Word.WdReplace.wdReplaceAll);
}
}
}
All you need to do is this:
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using MSWord = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
namespace ConsoleApplication6
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
var application = new MSWord.Application();
var originalDocument = application.Documents.Open(@"C:\whatever.docx");
originalDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.WholeStory();
var originalText = originalDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection;
var newDocument = new MSWord.Document();
newDocument.Range().Text = originalText.Text;
newDocument.SaveAs(@"C:\whateverelse.docx");
originalDocument.Close(false);
newDocument.Close();
application.Quit();
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(application);
}
}
}
