Replace bookmark text in Word file using Open XML SDK

Question

I assume v2.0 is better... they have some nice \"how to:...\" examples but bookmarks don\'t seem to act as obviously as say a Table... a bookmark is defined by two

Answer 1

Most solutions here assume a regular bookmarking pattern of starting before and ending after runs, which is not always true e.g. if bookmark starts in a para or table and ends somewhere in another para (like others have noted). How about using document order to cope with the case where bookmarks are not placed in a regular structure - the document order will still find all the relevant text nodes in between which can then be replaced. Just do root.DescendantNodes().Where(xtext or bookmarkstart or bookmark end) which will traverse in document order, then one can replace text nodes that appear after seeing a bookmark start node but before seeing an end node.
