Hi,
I try to import a Word document into a main document. the main document contains headers and footers, but the imported document shall not have these headers and footers. How can I do that?

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. 

Regards, 
Dilli babu.

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.

Hi Bodo, 

Thank you for your update. 

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. 

To know more about importing sub Word document at the end of main Word document and to preserve header and footers from the main Word document, kindly refer our following discussion forum. 

Please let us know if you have any questions. 

Regards, 
Dilli babu.

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.
