Is it possible to paste sections from one doc to another

[jimjerry]

Hello
I have a template file named "temp.docx". I named the first paragraph of each section in this file G_1, G_2, G_3, G_4 and separated it with the string -----SECTION_BREAK-----.

I named the file that I wanted to work on as "main.docx". In this file, there are places that said G_1, G_2, G_3, G_4.

I want to split the text in the "temp.docx" file from the string -----SECTION_BREAK----- and paste the G_1 section in the "temp.docx" file where it says G_1 in the "main.docx" file. Likewise, I want to paste the G_2 section in the "temp.docx" file where it says G_2 in the "main.docx" file. Of course, I would appreciate it if it also shows the "pasting options". Or have it automatically merge the formatting.

Is something like this possible?

My best regards.

Hello Jim,

Thanks for your inquiry.

Code: Select all

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Document temp = new Document();
            temp.LoadFromFile("temp.docx");
            Document main = new Document();
            main.LoadFromFile("main.docx");

            string[] paraKeys = { "G_1", "G_2", "G_3", "G_4" };
            string breakKey = "-----SECTION_BREAK-----";

            TextSelection[] breakSelections = temp.FindAllString(breakKey, false, true);
            TextSelection parSelection, mainParSelection;
            TextBodyPart body;
            Paragraph p1, p2, mainPara;
            int i = 0;
            foreach (string str in paraKeys)
            {
                parSelection = temp.FindString(str, false, true);
                p1 = parSelection.GetAsOneRange().OwnerParagraph;
                if (i >= breakSelections.Length)
                {
                    p2 = null;
                }
                else
                {
                    p2 = breakSelections[i].GetAsOneRange().OwnerParagraph;
                }
                //Extract contents from temp.docx
                body = new TextBodyPart(main);
                extractContentBetweenPargraphs(temp, body, p1, p2);
                //Find the target position in main.docx for inserting the contents
                mainParSelection = main.FindString(str, false, true);
                mainPara = mainParSelection.GetAsOneRange().OwnerParagraph;
                //Insert a bookmark in the target paragraph
                BookmarkStart bookmarkStart = new BookmarkStart(main, str);
                BookmarkEnd bookmarkEnd = new BookmarkEnd(main, str);
                mainPara.ChildObjects.Insert(0, bookmarkStart);
                mainPara.ChildObjects.Add(bookmarkEnd);
                //
                BookmarksNavigator navigator = new BookmarksNavigator(main);
                navigator.MoveToBookmark(str);
                //Insert the extracted contents into main.docx
                //1. Keep format of temp.docx
                //navigator.ReplaceBookmarkContent(body, true);

                //2. Merge format
                navigator.ReplaceBookmarkContent(body, false);
                //Remove the temporary bookmark
                mainPara.ChildObjects.Remove(bookmarkStart);
                mainPara.ChildObjects.Remove(bookmarkEnd);

                i++;
            }
            //Save file
            main.SaveToFile("output.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("output.docx");
        }
        public static void extractContentBetweenPargraphs(Document doc, TextBodyPart body,Paragraph p1, Paragraph p2)
        {
           
            bool flag = false;
            foreach (Section section in doc.Sections)
            {
                foreach (DocumentObject obj in section.Body.ChildObjects)
                {
                    if (obj == p2)
                    {
                        break;
                    }
                    if (flag)
                    {
                        body.BodyItems.Add(obj.Clone()) ;
                    }
                    if (obj == p1)
                    {
                        flag = true;
                    }
                }
            }
