Hello,

is it possible to insert new text at the position of an existing bookmark?

If yes, could you please give me a full example?

at the moment i am working with Replace, but its not a very good solution if there is a chance that someone manually likes to change the document.

Here is my actual code:

using (DocX document = DocX.Load(@"C:\temp\readme.docx")){ document.ReplaceText("strDatum", "24-02-2014"); document.Save();}

Hope anyone can help me.

Some time ago bookmarks were added to main source code (not in the binary): "This patch adds basic support for inserting and manipulating bookmarks inside a word file. It also allows for inserting text at bookmark locations. The change was predicated on a need to insert text at bookmark locations in a sort of token replacement."

The code is below but this example is taken straight from Source Code where there are multiple examples for different things.

private static void Bookmarks() { Console.WriteLine("\nBookmarks()");

using (var document = DocX.Create(@"docs\Bookmarks.docx")) { var paragraph = document.InsertBookmark("firstBookmark");

var paragraph2 = document.InsertParagraph("This is a paragraph which contains a "); paragraph2.AppendBookmark("secondBookmark"); paragraph2.Append("bookmark");

paragraph2.InsertAtBookmark("handy ", "secondBookmark");

document.Save(); Console.WriteLine("\tCreated: docs\\Bookmarks.docx\n"); } }

Unless you mean you need functionality that works for template that already has them then i guess you would need to find the paragraphs first and then try InsertAtBookmark but this wasn't tested and may not be there.

Hello,

thanks for your answer.



AM Yes i am looking for a solution to use a template i got and find the bookmark and insert text. I was not able to find a paragraph or a bookmark after trying a few hours now.

Is there a solution to do it?

Hope you can help me.

What about iterate all paragraphs and look up for your specific bookmark?!

foreach (var paragraph in document.Paragraphs) { var bookmark = paragraph.GetBookmarks().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "strDatum"); if (bookmark != null) bookmark.Paragraph.InsertAtBookmark("24-02-2014", bookmark.Name); }

would be nice, but:

Error 1 'Novacode.Paragraph' does not contain a definition for 'GetBookmarks' and no extension method 'GetBookmarks' accepting a first argument of type 'Novacode.Paragraph' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Seems like you're using a wrong version of DocX.dll .. see also: https://docx.codeplex.com/discussions/534409

248907Feb 27, 2014 at 12:10 PM

WOW!, yes.

i DID download the newest compiled Version here 1.0.1.3 and the Thread you mentioned has the same Version but smaller and newer.

Now it works. Exactly what i needed. Thank you very very much!

Hi guys,

I'm trying to fill bookmarks of a Word document by the solution provided bjr001 but I have the following issue: GetBookmarks() is not a member of Novacode.Paragraph.

Any solution possible?

Thanks in advance.

248907Sep 11, 2014 at 1:37 PM

Hi misidra,

download the Version from the Thread mentioned by bjr001 and compile it yourself, then use the .dll you compiled. It worked for me, i hope it works for you too.

Let us know.

I recently try to use that version, but now VS send me this error: Excepcin no controlada del tipo 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' en System.Windows.Forms.dll

Informacin adicional: Could not load file or assembly 'DocX, Version=1.0.1.13, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

It doesn't work any function.

248907Sep 11, 2014 at 3:29 PM

Hi misidra,

it says that the system is not able to find your dll. have you copied there from where you linked it in? Or is the dll where it should be at runtime? where your .exe ist located?

saludos, Reto

misidraSep 11, 2014 at 3:58 PM

The .dll file is located at debug folder, like other resources that I'm using.

from where is the error thrown?

I've just solved the problem using Interop thing.

Thanks anyway ;)

@misindra if you're fine with Interop limitations and you know consequences of using it then it's fine. You've been warned :-)

I used NuGet to install DocX so shouldn't I have the latest version anyway? The link on the other thread didn't work and I don't have the GetBookmarks() or any of the InsertBookmark, AppendBookmark etc code at all??

We don't support NuGet deployment as we don't have access there (not sure who is publishing there). So the version as NuGet package may be a lot older then what you get by either downloading newest binary from here or compiling the source code. I would suggest updating the version from binary that is downloadable from here. It was released recently.
