In order to correct wrong spellings or add some new contents in a Word document, users need to edit an existing Word document. This guide demonstrates a solution to edit Word document in C# and VB.NET.
Spire.Doc for .NET, wonderful .NET Word component, offers a Paragraph class, which enables users to edit contents in paragraphs through set its properties. In this example, the title is updated and new text is added in paragraph two (Title is paragraph one). The editing result is shown as following screenshot.
Firstly, declare a Paragraph instance and its value is set as paragraph one (title). Set its Text property to update the original contents. Secondly, declare another Paragraph instance and its value is set as Paragraph two. Invoke Paragraph.AppendText method to add new contents for this paragraph. The overload passed to this method is string text. For distinguishing new contents and existing contents, new contents are formatted in this example. Declare a TextRange instance and set its value as new added contents. Set CharacterFormat properties for this TextRange, including FontName, FontSize and TextColor.
