Bookmarks in a Word document serve as placeholders that can mark particular locations or content. The Syncfusion .NET Word library (DocIO) enables users to add and remove bookmarks in C#. Users can programmatically extract, edit, and delete bookmarked content in C#, providing a versatile method to identify and locate content within a Word document without relying on Microsoft Word or interop dependencies.
This example code shows how to add bookmarks in a Word document using the Syncfusion .NET Word library with just a few lines C# code.
- using Syncfusion.DocIO;
- using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;
- //Create an instance of WordDocument
- using WordDocument document = new WordDocument();
- //Add a new section and paragraph in the document
- document.EnsureMinimal();
- //Get the last paragraph.
- IWParagraph paragraph = document.LastParagraph;
- //Add a new bookmark at the start of the paragraph with the name "Northwind"
- paragraph.AppendBookmarkStart("Northwind");
- //Add text between bookmarks at the start and end of the paragraph.
- paragraph.AppendText("The Northwind sample database (Northwind.mdb) is included with all versions of Access.");
- //Add a new bookmark at the end of the paragraph with the name "Northwind"
- paragraph.AppendBookmarkEnd("Northwind");
- //Add text after the bookmark ends
- paragraph.AppendText(" Using Northwind, you can become familiar with how a relational database is structured and how the database objects work together to help you enter, store, manipulate, and print your data.");
- //Save the Word document in DOCX format
- using FileStream outputStream = new FileStream("Result.docx", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
- document.Save(outputStream, FormatType.Docx);
