Running this, show this error

An exception of type 'Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException' occurred in Newtonsoft.Json.dll but was not handled in user code: 'Error getting value from 'Font' on 'Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS.WCharacterFormat'.'

Thank you for contacting the Syncfusion support. 

## Import word document 

 

 

To convert the word document to Json, you have to use the nuget Syncfusion.EJ2.WordEditor.AspNet.Core. 

 

 

In provided sample code, you have referred the word document from Syncfusion DocIO. 

 

 

Please refer the below sample which contains code for Document importing.
