How to insert the full .doc into another .doc

[Matthew Herb]

void InsertWorkItems(IWordDocument wdMaster)
{
WordDocument wd1 = new WordDocument("C:\\docs\\6_C.docx", FormatType.Docx);

wdMaster.Replace("", wd1, false, false, true );



should work right? But I get a object reference not set error even though neither DOC object is null.. ??

Hi Matt,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

I am afraid that I am unable to reproduce the issue "while replacing the string with document it throwing an exception", its working fine in our end.

Please refers to the below sample:
http://www.syncfusion.com/uploads/redirect.aspx?file=FindandReplace_c68f9916.zip&team=support

Please have a look into the sample and try to reproduce the issue in that sample or send your sample to us to reproduce the issue. This would be very helpful for us to investigate more on this issue and provide a solution.

Note: In subject you have mentioned .doc and in code you have used .docx. But issue is not reproduced in both the formats.

Best Regards,
Bhuvana

ok.. thanks it works now.. Not sure what I was doing wrong before.

Another question while I am here

is there some way to surround parts of text in a document so I can remove certain parts..

In my example the user checks which sections he wants to include and I create the document with those sections..

the workaround I am doing instead is breaking the sections into seperate .doc files and then adding them in a main .doc file..

Found a bug in DOCio it seems.. took me hours..

The problem I was having all was because of a certain type of textbox in Word 2007. Causes

wdMaster.Replace("", wdD, false, false, true);

to error.. I will attach the piece that causes the problem.. without it everything works fine

it is 'smartart' that causes the problem.

DocIO cannot use smartart ?

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the instant update.

Currently we do not provide support for preserve or create or manipulating smart tag documents using Essential DocIO.

We have logged feature request regarding this. We will get back to you once the feature is implemented.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the update.

I afraid that I am unable to reproduce the issue when we using the doc format. It’s working as expected for doc format. The textbox is not shrinks and the texts are not disappeared.

Here is the sample for your reference:
