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

Here is how I do it in VB.NET:

For Each curBookMark In contractBookMarkStarts

      ''# Get the "Run" immediately following the bookmark and then
      ''# get the Run's "Text" field
      runAfterBookmark = curBookMark.NextSibling(Of Wordprocessing.Run)()
      textInRun = runAfterBookmark.LastChild

      ''# Decode the bookmark to a contract attribute
      lines = DecodeContractDataToContractDocFields(curBookMark.Name, curContract).Split(vbCrLf)

      ''# If there are multiple lines returned then some work needs to be done to create
      ''# the necessary Run/Text fields to hold lines 2 thru n.  If just one line then set the
      ''# Text field to the attribute from the contract
      For ptr = 0 To lines.Count - 1
          line = lines(ptr)
          If ptr = 0 Then
              textInRun.Text = line.Trim()
          Else
              ''# Add a 
 run/text component then add next line
              newRunForLf = New Run(runAfterBookmark.OuterXml)
              newRunForLf.LastChild.Remove()
              newBreak = New Break()
              newRunForLf.Append(newBreak)

              newRunForText = New Run(runAfterBookmark.OuterXml)
              DirectCast(newRunForText.LastChild, Text).Text = line.Trim

              curBookMark.Parent.Append(newRunForLf)
              curBookMark.Parent.Append(newRunForText)
          End If
      Next
Next
