Spire.Doc for .NET enables developers to access SectionCollection property of Document class to get specified section in Word document and then remove the unnecessary one or more. There are two methods to remove Word section.
Remove one Specified Section
Invoke Remove(Spire.Doc.Interface.IDocumentObject entity) method to remove specified object of document. In this solution, entity is the first section of document which has gotten at first.
Section section = document.Sections[0];
document.Sections.Remove(section);
Dim section As Section = document.Sections(0)
document.Sections.Remove(section)
Invoke RemoveAt(int index) method to remove document object at the specified index from the collection.
document.Sections.RemoveAt(0);
document.Sections.RemoveAt(0)
Remove All Sections
Invoke Clear() method to clear all objects of document.
document.Sections.Clear();
document.Sections.Clear()
Note: Because a Word document must include at least one section, so the document cannot be saved if all the sections are removed.
