Preserve Theme When Copying Sections from One Word Document to Another in C#

A theme is a set of colors, fonts, and effects that determines the overall look of your Word document. Suppose you have a document which is neat and stylish, you’d like to copy contents of a section to another document without losing the theme and style. You can clone the theme to destination file using CloneThemeTo method.

Step 1: Create a Document object and load a sample Word file.

Document doc = new Document();
doc.LoadFromFile("theme.docx");

Step 2: Create a new Word document.

Document newWord = new Document();

Step 3: Clone default style, theme, compatibility from the source file to destination document.

doc.CloneDefaultStyleTo(newWord);
doc.CloneThemesTo(newWord);
doc.CloneCompatibilityTo(newWord);

Step 4: Add the cloned section to destination document.

newWord.Sections.Add(doc.Sections[0].Clone());

Step 5: Save the file.

newWord.SaveToFile("result.docx", FileFormat.Docx);

Output:
