Insert link at specific (placeholder) place in existing word

[robinleblond]

Hello, how can I insert (replace placeholder with) a link in an existing Word document. I want to replace IN the text, not add a new paragraph nor section. I found how to add an hyperlink in a new document or how to append it at the end in a new section or paragraph, but I really need to replace a placeholder (like the document.replace fonctionnality, except that I need to create a link).

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry. You can try to the following method to insert link at specific place.

Code: Select all

Document document = new Document();
            document.LoadFromFile(@"E:\FindAndReplace.doc");

            TextSelection ts = document.FindString("word", false, false);
            TextRange tr = ts.GetAsOneRange();
            int index = tr.OwnerParagraph.ChildObjects.IndexOf(tr);

            Field field = new Field(document);
            field.Code = "HYPERLINK \"http://www.e-iceblue.com\"";
            field.Type = FieldType.FieldHyperlink;
           
            tr.OwnerParagraph.ChildObjects.Insert(index, field);

            FieldMark fm = new FieldMark(document, FieldMarkType.FieldSeparator);
            tr.OwnerParagraph.ChildObjects.Insert(index + 1, fm);
           
            TextRange textR = new TextRange(document);
            textR.Text = "test";
            textR.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Blue;
            textR.CharacterFormat.UnderlineStyle = UnderlineStyle.Single;
            tr.OwnerParagraph.ChildObjects.Insert(index + 2, textR);

            FieldMark fmend = new FieldMark(document, FieldMarkType.FieldEnd);
            tr.OwnerParagraph.ChildObjects.Insert(index + 3, fmend);

            field.End = fmend;
            tr.OwnerParagraph.ChildObjects.RemoveAt(index + 4);
       
            document.SaveToFile("Sample.doc", FileFormat.Doc);

When I try to use this code, I'm getting "'FieldMark' does not contain a constructor that takes 2 arguments".

Am I doing something stupid (I'm new to Visual Studio, C# and .NET) or has the FieldMark API changed? It looks like the only constructor is a protected class. Is there a subclass I should be using?

Dear owurman,

Thanks for your inquiry.
I checked the code on my side using the latest Spire.Doc Pack(hot fix) Version:5.8.76, but didn't find the issue you mentioned.
Could you please tell us which version you were using(e.g. Spire.Doc.dll V5.8.76.4040) ?

Thanks,

I had started with a demo app (I can't even remember where I got it) that was using a much older version of Spire bundled with it. Installing Spire properly fixed the problem, thanks.

Currently working with the proposed resolution on the latest (as of today) Spire.Doc Free edition and that solution doesn't appear to work properly for me.

Instead of the token being a link it is just blue and underlined text and not a hyperlink for me. Is there a better way of doing this now or is something off in my understanding?

Thanks.
