Hi,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Please see the following code for your reference.

Code: Select all

            Document doc = new Document();
            doc.LoadFromFile("test1.docx");
            MergeField mergeField = doc.Fields[0] as MergeField;
            Spire.Doc.Documents.Paragraph ownerParagraph = mergeField.OwnerParagraph;
            // get the index of the mergeField in the paragraph
            int index = ownerParagraph.ChildObjects.IndexOf(mergeField);

            Document newDoc = new Document();
            newDoc.LoadFromFile("test2.docx");
            Spire.Doc.Documents.TextSelection[] textSelections = doc.FindAllString("text1", true, true);
            Spire.Doc.Documents.TextSelection textSelection = textSelections[0];
            // get the text of the new document
            TextRange textRange = textSelection.GetAsOneRange();
            // Insert the text at specific position
            ownerParagraph.ChildObjects.Insert(index, textRange);
            // remove the mergeField
            ownerParagraph.ChildObjects.RemoveAt(index);

            doc.SaveToFile("result.docx");
            doc.Dispose();
            newDoc.Dispose();

If the code does not meet your requirement, please share us with your documents so that we can work out a solution for you.

Hi ,
Thanks for your response.
I tried this code but its breaking with error "Index was outside of bound" after inserting new document
Also below line added by you is searching specific string and returning data

Spire.Doc.Documents.TextSelection[] textSelections = doc.FindAllString("text1", true, true);


In my case i want to read whole document which can contain images only
