WordDocument accessing table via bookmark

[Tim]

Hello. I'm trying to access the table in a Word document by bookmark. I can access it just fine but when I change some text in a table or try to add rows, there is no change visible in the saved document. I'm attaching the code which accesses the table.

Hi Tim,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

On analyzing further with the given details, we found that you have used GetBookmarkContent() method to get the particular bookmark text body. Then you have finds the table and added the text into each cell of this table.

Since the GetBookmarkContent() method is used to get the bookmark content as cloned text body, the changes made in the cloned text body wasn’t reflected in original Word document. If your requirement is changing the Word document content means, then kindly replace the existing text body with new text body(text added to each cell) by using our BookmarksNavigator.ReplaceBookmarkContent() API. Kindly add the below highlighted code in your sample to resolve the reported problem. 

    var part = bookmarkNavigator.GetBookmarkContent();
    if(part.BodyItems.FirstItem is IWTable table)
        foreach(WTableRow row in table.Rows)
            foreach (WTableCell cell in row.Cells)
                foreach (WParagraph paragraph in cell.Paragraphs)
                    paragraph.Text = "TEST";

     bookmarkNavigator.ReplaceBookmarkContent(part); 

We have also prepared demo sample for this scenario, please find the sample from here and let us know if it helps.
