Hi Bodo,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

Yes, it is possible to import a Word document with headers and footers to a Word document using ImportContent method. Please find the code example for the same.

//Open the source document

WordDocument sourceDocument = new WordDocument(sourceFileName);

//Open the destination document

WordDocument destinationDocument = new WordDocument(targetFileName);

//Import the contents of source document at the end of destination document

destinationDocument.ImportContent(sourceDocument, ImportOptions. KeepSourceFormatting);

//Close the document instance

sourceDocument.Close();

//Save the destination document

destinationDocument.Save(outputFileName, FormatType.Docx);

//Close the document instance

destinationDocument.Close();

We have explained about different ImportOptions and their behaviors in the following API documentation link.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi Dilli,

thanks for your answer, but you misunderstand me.

I have a doc with header and footer, and want to import another doc without header and footer.

And the imported part shall not have header and footer.

We have prepared a sample application to merge sub Word document at the end of main Word document which doesn’t preserves sub Word document’s headers and footers in the main Word document. The sample can be downloaded from the following link.

Hi,

you still misunderstand me.

I've attached the expected result.

The imported file shall not have the headers of the main doc.

Hi Bodo,

We regret for the inconvenience.

We have modified the sample based on your requirement which can be downloaded from following link.

Note: We suspect that the imported document doesn’t have header and footer, which will be preserved as it in Main Word document after merging.

Please find the output documents comparison in below.
