Deleting paragraph that contains specific text in word document

Hello,

I have a word template, with tables and fields set inside bookmarks.
There is an issue on some places when bookmarks are adjacent, line under line which creates an error on finding bookmarkEnd.
I managed to solve that by inserting paragraph of text in between.
Now I would like to remove all paragraphs in document, at the end before file is exported.
Paragraphs contain word "break" so I need to search and remove all those paragraphs.
Also it would be helpful to be able to remove(delete) previous and next empty paragraph if it is possible.

Solved with Syncfusion documentation -> File Formats -> DocIO -> Working with Word document

Only modification I had to make is instead of deleting it in an loop, to put paragraph indexes in a list and then after looping through the whole document reverse the list and delete all the indexes backwards, because in other case I would get index out of range exception.

Hope this helps someone.
