C#: Edit Word Documents

Editing a Word document is necessary when you want to improve readability, correct errors, refine formatting, maintain consistency, adapt content, facilitate collaboration, and optimize the document for any other purposes. Programmatically editing a Word document using C# can be a powerful approach to automate document processing and manipulation tasks.

In this article, you will learn how to edit a Word document using C# and the Spire.Doc for .NET library.

Modify Text in a Word Document
Change Formatting of Text in a Word Document
Add New Elements to a Word Document
Remove Paragraphs from a Word Document

Install Spire.Doc for .NET

To begin with, you need to add the DLL files included in the Spire.Doc for .NET package as references in your .NET project. The DLL files can be either downloaded from this link or installed via NuGet.

Package Manager

PM> Install-Package Spire.Doc

Modify Text in a Word Document in C#

Spire.Doc allows you to programmatically access specific sections and paragraphs in Word documents. To retrieve a particular section, use the Document.Sections[index] property. Then, to get a particular paragraph within that section, leverage the Section.Paragraphs[index] property. Finally, you can update the text content of the paragraph using the Paragraph.Text property.

The steps to modify text in a Word document using C# are as follows:

Create a Document object.
Load a Word file from the given file path.
Get a specific section through Document.Sections[index] property.
Get a specific paragraph through Section.Paragraphs[index] property.
Reset the text of the paragraph through Paragraph.Text property.
Save the updated document to a different Word file.

C#

using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;

namespace ModifyText
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Create a new document object
            Document document = new Document();

            // Load an existing Word file
            document.LoadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\input.docx");

            // Get a specific section
            Section section = document.Sections[0];

            // Get a specific paragraph
            Paragraph paragraph = section.Paragraphs[0];

            // Modify the text of the paragraph 
            paragraph.Text = "Updated Title";

            // Save the document to a different Word file
            document.SaveToFile("ModifyText.docx", FileFormat.Docx);

            // Dispose resource
            document.Dispose();
        }
    }
}

C#: Edit Word Documents

Change Formatting of Text in a Word Document in C#

To change the text formatting within a paragraph, first obtain the paragraph object, then iterate through its child objects to locate the individual text ranges. For each text range, you can reset the formatting using the CharacterFormat property of the TextRange.

The steps to change text formatting in a Word document are as follows:

Create a Document object.
Load a Word file from the given file path.
Get a specific section through Document.Sections[index] property.
Get a specific paragraph through Section.Paragraphs[index] property.
Iterate through the child objects in the paragraph.
- Determine if a child object is a text range.
- Get a specific text range.
- Reset the text formatting through TextRange.CharacterFormat property.
Save the updated document to a different Word file.

C#

using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using Spire.Doc.Fields;
using System.Drawing;

namespace ChangeTextFont
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            // Create a new document object
            Document document = new Document();

            // Load an existing Word file
            document.LoadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\input.docx");

            // Get a specific section
            Section section = document.Sections[0];

            // Get a specific paragraph
            Paragraph paragraph = section.Paragraphs[2];

            // Iterate through the child objects in the paragraph
            for (int i = 0; i < paragraph.ChildObjects.Count; i++)
            {

                // Determine if a child object is text range
                if (paragraph.ChildObjects[i] is TextRange)
                {
                    // Get a specific text range
                    TextRange textRange = (TextRange)paragraph.ChildObjects[i];

                    // Reset font name for it
                    textRange.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Corbel Light";

                    // Reset font size for it
                    textRange.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 11;

                    // Reset text color for it
                    textRange.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Blue;

                    // Apply italic to the text range 
                    textRange.CharacterFormat.Italic = true;
                }
            }

            // Save the document to a different Word file
            document.SaveToFile("ChangeFont.docx", FileFormat.Docx);

            // Dispose resource
            document.Dispose();
        }
    }
}

C#: Edit Word Documents

Add New Elements to a Word Document in C#

In addition to modifying the existing content in a Word document, you can also insert various types of new elements, such as text, images, tables, lists, and charts. As most elements are paragraph-based, you have the flexibility to add a new paragraph at the end of the document or insert it mid-document. You can then populate this new paragraph with the desired content, whether that's plain text, images, or other elements.

Below are the steps to add new elements (text and images) to a Word document using C#:

Create a Document object.
Load a Word file from the given file path.
Get a specific section through Document.Sections[index] property.
Add a paragraph to the section using Section.AddParagraph() method.
Add text to the paragraph using Paragraph.AppendText() method.
Add an image to the paragraph using Paragraph.AppendPicture() method.
Save the updated document to a different Word file.

C#

using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;

namespace AddNewElementsToWord
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Create a new document object
            Document document = new Document();

            // Load an existing Word file
            document.LoadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\input.docx");

            // Get the last section
            Section lastSection = document.LastSection;

            // Add a paragraph to the section
            Paragraph paragraph = lastSection.AddParagraph();

            // Add text to the paragraph
            paragraph.AppendText("This text and the image shown below are added programmatically using C# and Spire.Doc for .NET.");

            // Add an image to the paragraph
            paragraph.AppendPicture("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\logo.png");

            // Create a paragraph style
            ParagraphStyle style = new ParagraphStyle(document);
            style.Name = "FontStyle";
            style.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Times New Roman";
            style.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 12;
            document.Styles.Add(style);

            // Apply the style to the paragraph
            paragraph.ApplyStyle(style.Name);

            // Save the document to a different Word file
            document.SaveToFile("AddNewElements.docx", FileFormat.Docx);

            // Dispose resource
            document.Dispose();
        }
    }
}

Remove Paragraphs from a Word Document in C#

With the Spire.Doc library, you can perform a variety of document operations, including updating existing content, adding new elements, as well as removing elements from a Word document. For example, to remove a paragraph from the document, you can use the Section.Paragraphs.RemoveAt() method.

The following are the steps to remove paragraphs from a Word document using C#:

Create a Document object.
Load a Word file from the given file path.
Get a specific section through Document.Sections[index] property.
Remove a specific paragraph from the section using Section.Paragraphs.RemoveAt() method.
Save the updated document to a different Word file.

C#

using Spire.Doc;

namespace RemoveParagraphs
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Create a new document object
            Document document = new Document();

            // Load an existing Word file
            document.LoadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\input.docx");

            // Get a specific section
            Section section = document.Sections[0];

            // Remove a specific paragraph
            section.Paragraphs.RemoveAt(0);

            // Save the document to a different Word file
            document.SaveToFile("RemoveParagraph.docx", FileFormat.Docx);

            // Dispose resource
            document.Dispose();
        }
    }
}

Load Word from Stream

Spire.Doc for .NET provides the constructor Document(Stream) to initialize a new instance of Document class from specified data stream and the method Document.LoadFromStream(Stream, FileFormat) to open document from Stream in XML or Microsoft Word document.

[C#]

            Stream stream = File.OpenRead(@"E:\Work\Documents\Spire.Doc for .NET.docx");
            Document document = new Document(stream);

OR

            Stream stream = File.OpenRead(@"E:\Work\Documents\Spire.Doc for .NET.docx"); 
            Document document = new Document();
            document.LoadFromStream(stream, FileFormat.Docx);

[VB.NET]

            Dim stream As Stream = File.OpenRead("E:\Work\Documents\Spire.Doc for .NET.docx")
            Dim document As New Document(stream)

OR

            Dim stream As Stream = File.OpenRead("E:\Work\Documents\Spire.Doc for .NET.docx")
            Dim document As New Document()
            document.LoadFromStream(stream, FileFormat.Docx)

Spire.Doc, an easy-to-use component to operate Word document, allows developers to fast generate, write, edit and save Word (Word 97-2003, Word 2007, Word 2010) in C# and VB.NET for .NET, Silverlight and WPF.

Licensing

Each product of e-iceblue provides a trial version, every registered user can download them from our site for free. The trial version product will add an extra sheet (in Spire.XLS) or paragraph (in Spire.Doc) with the Evaluation Warning to the result file. From Spire.Doc v3.6.0/Spire.XLS v5.8.0/Spire.Office 1.4.0, We deprecated the old username-key registeration method and use a new license file to instead. When you purchase a license, you will get a license file from us. After you apply it, the Evaluation Warning will disappear.

This section will show you what is the license file and how to apply the license file. It includes following topics:

License File Introduction (.NET)
How to Apply the License File (.NET)
How to Include the License File as an Embedded Resource (.NET)
How to Apply the License File in a Web Site (.NET)
How to Apply the License by license key (.NET/Java/C++/Python)
How to Apply two licenses or more (.NET & Java)

License File Introduction

The license file is an XML format file that contains details such as the username&email&organization of the purchaser, licensing date, product name, product version, the number of licensed developer, the number of licensed site and so on. The license file is digitally signed, so do not modify it anyway.

You need to apply it before performing any operations with our products, but it's only required once to apply the license file in an application or process.

How to Apply the License File

Performing any operation with our products will lead the license module to check whether the license has been loaded. If not, the license module will try to load it. The license can be loaded implicitly or explicitly from a file, stream or an embedded resource, implicit is default.

Note: Whether implicity or explicity, you must apply the license file before you call any of our products.

Implicit Loading

In this mode, the license module will try to search the license file in the following locations:

The folder that contains the entry assembly (your assembly named .exe) in runtime.
An embedded resource in the assembly that calls our product.
The folder that contains the assembly of our product (for example: Spire.Doc.dll, Spire.XLS.dll) referenced by your assembly in runtime.
The folder that contains the assembly that calls our product in runtime.

When you get the license file from us, the default name of it is license.elic.xml. You can put it in any location aforementioned. The license module will load it automatically in your application. You can also change the license file name. If you do that, it's required to tell the license module the new file name before you perform any operation with our products, for example:

C#
VB.NET

//Tell the license module that you changed the license file name.
Spire.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseFileName("your-license-file-name");

You can also get the license file name by which the license module search the license, for example:

C#
VB.NET

//To get the default license file name.
String fileName = Spire.License.LicenseProvider.GetLicenseFileName();

Explicit Loading

In this mode, the license module will try to load the license from a specified file or stream you provide.

Explicitly specify the license file by a full file name.

C#
VB.NET

//Specify the license file by a full file name.
Spire.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseFileFullPath(@"D:\myApp\license.lic.xml");

Explicitly specify the license file by a FileInfo object.

C#
VB.NET

//Specify the license file by a FileInfo object.
FileInfo licenseFile = new FileInfo(@"D:\myApp\license.lic.xml");
Spire.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseFile(licenseFile);

Provide a license data stream.

C#
VB.NET

//Specify the license by a license data stream.
Stream stream = File.OpenRead(@"D:\myApp\license.lic.xml");
Spire.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseFileStream(stream);

How to Include the License File as an Embedded Resource

Including the license file as an embedded resource into one of the assemblies that calls our products is a good idea. It will make your release and deployment become easier. You don't need to worry about the loss of it any longer. To include the license file as an embedded resource in Visual Studio, perform the following steps:

In the Solution Explorer, right-click your project and click Add | Add Existing Item... menu.
Find your license file in the opend file browser dialog, then click the Add button to add it into your project.
Select the file in the Solution Explorer and set Build Action to Embedded Resource in the Properties window.
If your license file name is not the default file name license.elic.xml, invoke Spire.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseFileName to tell the real name to the license module in your code.

Embedded License

How to Apply the License File in a Web Site

If you want to apply the license file in a web site, just copy it into the folder Bin which contains the referenced assemblies of your web site.

Copy License

How to Apply the License by license key

Sometimes, your application could not read the license file because of lack of permission or other reason. In this case, you can invoke the method Spire.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseKey(String key) to apply your license. The parameter key is the value of the Key attribute of the element License of your license xml file. To make sure that apply the license before any operation with our products, we recommend invoking this method in the top of your entry method.

C#
VB.NET

//Register the license key
Spire.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseKey("your license key");
//Spire.Doc version 11.5.6 or above
Spire.Doc.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseKey("your license key");
//Spire.XLS  version 13.6.0 or above
Spire.Xls.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseKey("your license key");
//Spire.PDF version 9.6.0 or above
Spire.Pdf.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseKey("your license key");
//Spire.Presentation version 8.6.0 or above
Spire.Presentation.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseKey("your license key");

Java

//Register the license key
com.spire.license.LicenseProvider.setLicenseKey("your license key");
//Spire.Doc version 12.1.10 or above
com.spire.doc.license.LicenseProvider.setLicenseKey("Key"); 
//Spire.XLS version 14.1.3 or above
com.spire.xls.license.LicenseProvider.setLicenseKey("Key");
//Spire.Presentation version 9.1.2 or above
com.spire.presentation.license.LicenseProvider.setLicenseKey("Key");
//Spire.PDF version 10.1.9 or above
com.spire.pdf.license.LicenseProvider.setLicenseKey("Key"); 
//Spire.Ocr version 1.9.3 or above
com.spire.ocr.license.LicenseProvider.setLicenseKey("Key"); 
//Spire.Barcode version 5.1.3 or above
com.spire.barcode.license.LicenseProvider.setLicenseKey("Key");

C++

//Spire.Doc
Spire::Doc::License::SetLicenseKey("your license key")
//Spire.XLS
Spire::Xls::License::SetLicenseKey("your license key")
//Spire.Presentation
Spire::Presentation::License::SetLicenseKey("your license key")
//Spire.PDF
Spire::Pdf::License::SetLicenseKey("your license key")

Python

from spire.doc import *
from spire.pdf import *
from spire.xls import *
from spire.presentation import *
from spire.pdf.common import License as pdfLicense
from spire.doc.common import License as docLicense
from spire.xls.common import License as xlsLicense
from spire.presentation.common import License as pptLicense

# Apply license for Spire.PDF
pdfLicense.SetLicenseKey(key)

# Apply license for Spire.Doc
docLicense.SetLicenseKey(key)

# Apply license for Spire.XLS
xlsLicense.SetLicenseKey(key)

# Apply license for Spire.Presentation
pptLicense.SetLicenseKey(key)

If your application is WinForm Application or Console Application, this code above should be added into the Main method.
If your application is ASP.NET Application, you need to add Global.asax into your project and add this method code above into the Application_Start method.
If your application is ASP.NET Core Application, this code above should be added into the Startup method of Startup.cs.

How to Apply two licenses or more

When you need to use two products in the same project，such as Spire.Doc and Spire.XLS, Spire.Presentation and Spire.XLS, you need to download Spire.Office to use them together and there is no need for you to purchase Spire.Office. Please refer to how to apply two license to use Spire.Office normally by applying the license files you purchased.

If you apply your 2 licenses or more by license key, you can invoke the following method in the top of your entry method.

C#
Java

Spire.Doc.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseKey("your license key");
Spire.Doc.License.LicenseProvider.LoadLicense();
Spire.Xls.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseKey("your license key");  
Spire.Xls.License.LicenseProvider.LoadLicense();
Spire.Pdf.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseKey("your license key");  
Spire.Pdf.License.LicenseProvider.LoadLicense();
Spire.Presentation.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseKey("your license key");  
Spire.Presentation.License.LicenseProvider.LoadLicense();

If you apply them by license file, you can invoke the following method:

C#

Spire.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseFileName("license1.elic.xml");  
Spire.License.LicenseProvider.LoadLicense();  
Spire.License.LicenseProvider.SetLicenseFileName("license2.elic.xml");  
Spire.License.LicenseProvider.LoadLicense();
