Remove Content between two bookmarks

[tholland]

Could you provide sample c# code on deleting content between two bookmarks in a word document. Our client wants to create "beginning" and "ending" bookmarks around document content. Then have us remove the content in between the two bookmarks for certain scenarios.

Hi,

Thank you for your inquiry.
Please refer to the following code to delete content between two bookmarks. If there is any question, please feel free to write back.

Code: Select all

            Document doc = new Document();
            doc.LoadFromFile("bookmarks.docx");
            //get the index of BookmarkEnd of bookmark named 'start'
            BookmarksNavigator navigator = new BookmarksNavigator(doc);
            navigator.MoveToBookmark("start");
            BookmarkEnd end = navigator.CurrentBookmark.BookmarkEnd;
            int endIndex=end.OwnerParagraph.ChildObjects.IndexOf(end);
            //get the index of BookmarkStart of bookmark named 'end'
            BookmarksNavigator navigator1 = new BookmarksNavigator(doc);
            navigator1.MoveToBookmark("end");
            BookmarkStart start = navigator1.CurrentBookmark.BookmarkStart;
            int startIndex=start.OwnerParagraph.ChildObjects.IndexOf(start);
            //create a new bookmark
            BookmarkStart st = new BookmarkStart(doc, "myBookmark");
            BookmarkEnd ed = new BookmarkEnd(doc, "myBookmark");
            end.OwnerParagraph.ChildObjects.Insert(endIndex, st);
            start.OwnerParagraph.ChildObjects.Insert(startIndex, ed);
            //delete content of the bookmark
            BookmarksNavigator navigator3 = new BookmarksNavigator(doc);
            navigator3.MoveToBookmark("myBookmark", true, true);
            navigator3.DeleteBookmarkContent(true);
            //delete the 'myBookmark'
            BookmarkCollection bookmarks = doc.Bookmarks;
            Bookmark bookmark = bookmarks["myBookmark"];
            doc.Bookmarks.Remove(bookmark);   
            doc.SaveToFile("checkbox.docx", FileFormat.Docx2013);
