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

I needed to replace the text of a bookmark (bookmarks name is "Table") with a table. This is my approach:

public void ReplaceBookmark( DatasetToTable( ds ) )
{
    MainDocumentPart mainPart = myDoc.MainDocumentPart;
    Body body = mainPart.Document.GetFirstChild();
    var bookmark = body.Descendants()
                        .Where( o => o.Name == "Table" )
                        .FirstOrDefault();
    var parent = bookmark.Parent; //bookmark's parent element
    if (ds!=null)
    {
        parent.InsertAfterSelf( DatasetToTable( ds ) );
        parent.Remove();
    }
    mainPart.Document.Save();
}


public Table DatasetToTable( DataSet ds )
{
    Table table = new Table();
    //creating table;
    return table;
}

Hope this helps
