Word file format: How to use repeating section content control

[Mayur Bharodia]

Hello:

I am wondering whether you have any documentation or sample code to demonstrate how to use repeating section content control using your word file format library. Thanks in advance for your kind help. I am working on a web application: asp.net core; this uses word template to generate reports.

Hi Mayur, 

 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

 

Essential DocIO supports to maintain (Preserve) existing repeating section content control in the Word document. Currently DocIO doesn’t provide support for creating repeating section content control and accessing their properties programmatically. We have considered this scenario as a content control enhancement work and logged a feature request in our database. We will implement this feature in any of our upcoming releases. The feature implementation would also greatly depend on the factors such as product design, code compatibility and complexity. We request you to visit our website periodically for feature related updates. 

Could you please provide us more details about your end requirement along with the input word document and expected output document. This will be more helpful to check the feasibility to achieve your requirement in alternate way.  

 

Regards, 

Prakash Kumar

In Microsoft Word, a repeating section content control allows users to create dynamic sections that can be duplicated within a document. To add one, first enable the Developer tab (File > Options > Customize Ribbon > Developer). Then, select Repeating Section Content Control from the Developer toolbar. Inside, add other content controls as needed, such as text boxes or drop-downs. Users can then click the "+" button to add additional instances of the section, maintaining consistent formatting and fields. This is particularly useful for forms or templates requiring repeatable sections, like adding multiple entries for items, clients, or tasks.
