Simple introduction about Word XML
Word XML is a special XML format, which makes Word be able to manipulate the Word documents stored in XML format. It can be divided into two types: WordML(supported by Word 2003) and WordXML(supported by Word 2007). If external applications support Word XML and the generated data follow the Word XML structure, then the data can be processed by Word. In this way, Word XML has become the bridge between Word and other external applications, any XML- formatted document based on Word XML structure can be opened, edited and saved in Word.
Using C#/VB.NET to convert Word to Word XML via Spire.Doc
Spire.Doc enables users to convert word document to Word XML format easily by using the doc.SaveToFile() method. Now, please follow the detail steps below:
Note: Before start, please download Spire.Doc and install it correctly, then add Spire.Doc.dll file from Bin folder as the reference of your project.
This is the screenshot of the original word document:
Step 1: Create a new document instance.
Document doc = new Document();
Step 2: Load the sample word document from file.
doc.LoadFromFile("Spire.Doc for .NET.docx");
Step 3: Save the word document as Word XML format.
For word 2003:
doc.SaveToFile("DocxToWordML.xml", FileFormat.WordML);
For word 2007:
doc.SaveToFile("DocxToWordXML.xml", FileFormat.WordXml);

MS Word allows users to select a shape from shapes menu, drag and place it to any desired location on the page. From Spire.Doc Version 6.0 or above, we added a new feature to work with shape using code. The following section will present how to insert shapes and shape group in a Word document at the specified locations using Spire.Doc.
Code Snippets:
Step 1: Initialize a new instance of Document class.
Document doc = new Document();
Step 2: Add a new section to Word document, and add a paragraph to the section.
Section sec = doc.AddSection(); Paragraph para1 =sec.AddParagraph();
Step 3: Add shapes to the paragraph by calling AppendShape() method. In order to locate where the shape will be placed, you can just set the HorizontalPosition and VerticalPosition properties of ShapeObject class. We can also format the shape by set the FillColor,StrokeColor and LineStyle properties.
ShapeObject shape1 = para1.AppendShape(50, 50, ShapeType.Heart);
shape1.FillColor = Color.Red;
shape1.StrokeColor = Color.Red;
shape1.HorizontalPosition = 200;
shape1.VerticalPosition = 100;
ShapeObject shape2 = para1.AppendShape(100, 100, ShapeType.Arrow);
shape2.FillColor = Color.Purple;
shape2.StrokeColor = Color.Black;
shape2.LineStyle = ShapeLineStyle.Double;
shape2.StrokeWeight = 3;
shape2.HorizontalPosition = 200;
shape2.VerticalPosition = 200;
Step 4: Add a new paragraph and insert a shape group to the paragraph by calling AppendShapeGroup() method.
Paragraph para2 = sec.AddParagraph();
ShapeGroup shapegr = para2.AppendShapeGroup(200, 400);
shapegr.ChildObjects.Add(new ShapeObject(doc, ShapeType.Rectangle)
{
Width = 500,
Height = 300,
LineStyle = ShapeLineStyle.ThickThin,
StrokeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue,
StrokeWeight = 1.5,
});
shapegr.ChildObjects.Add(new ShapeObject(doc, ShapeType.RightTriangle)
{
Width = 500,
Height = 300,
VerticalPosition = 301,
LineStyle = ShapeLineStyle.ThickThin,
StrokeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green,
StrokeWeight = 1.5,
});
shapegr.ChildObjects.Add(new ShapeObject(doc, ShapeType.QuadArrow)
{
Width = 500,
Height = 300,
VerticalPosition = 601,
LineStyle = ShapeLineStyle.ThickThin,
StrokeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue,
StrokeWeight = 1.5,
});
Step 5: Save the document to file.
doc.SaveToFile("InsertShapes.docx", FileFormat.Docx2010);
Result:

How to Add, Select and Remove an Item in Combo Box in C#, VB.NET
2015-12-03 02:00:16 Written by KoohjiA combo box is a commonly-used GUI widget. It is a combination of a drop-down list or list box and a single-line textbox, allowing the user either to type a value directly into the control or choose from the list of existing options. In this article, we'll introduce how to programmatically manage the item of combo box in Word file using Spire.Doc.
Here is a combo box in the sample Word document, which contains three items including A, B and C. In the following section, we'll add, select and remove an item in the combo box using code.
Code Snippet:
Step 1: Initialize a new instance of Document class and load the sample Word file.
Document document = new Document(); document.LoadFromFile( "test.docx");
Step 2: Get the combo box from the file.
foreach (Section section in document.Sections)
{
foreach (Body body in section.ChildObjects)
{
foreach (DocumentObject bodyObj in body.ChildObjects)
{
if (bodyObj is StructureDocumentTag)
{
if ((bodyObj as StructureDocumentTag).SDTProperties.SDTType == SdtType.ComboBox)
{
SdtComboBox combo = (bodyObj as StructureDocumentTag).SDTProperties.ControlProperties as SdtComboBox;
}
}
}
}
}
Step 3: Create a new item and set two parameters for it: display text and value. Call ListItems.Add() method to add the new item into combo box.
SdtListItem item = new SdtListItem("D","d");
combo.ListItems.Add(item);
Step 4: Call ListItems.RemoveAt() method to remove an item by its index.
combo.ListItems.RemoveAt(0);
Step 5: Call ListItems.SelectedValue() to choose an item from combo box.
combo.ListItems.SelectedValue = sdtItem;
Step 6: Save and launch the file.
document.SaveToFile("result.docx", FileFormat.Docx2013);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("result.docx");
Output:
Entire Code:
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
namespace IteminCombo
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Document document = new Document();
document.LoadFromFile("test.docx");
foreach (Section section in document.Sections)
{
foreach (Body body in section.ChildObjects)
{
foreach (DocumentObject bodyObj in body.ChildObjects)
{
if (bodyObj is StructureDocumentTag)
{
if ((bodyObj as StructureDocumentTag).SDTProperties.SDTType == SdtType.ComboBox)
{
SdtComboBox combo = (bodyObj as StructureDocumentTag).SDTProperties.ControlProperties as SdtComboBox;
SdtListItem item = new SdtListItem("D", "d");
combo.ListItems.Add(item);
foreach (SdtListItem sdtItem in combo.ListItems)
{
if (string.CompareOrdinal(sdtItem.Value, "d") == 0)
{
combo.ListItems.SelectedValue = sdtItem;
}
}
combo.ListItems.RemoveAt(1);
}
}
}
}
}
document.SaveToFile("result.docx", FileFormat.Docx2013);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("result.docx");
}
}
}
Dim document As New Document()
document.LoadFromFile("test.docx")
For Each section As Section In document.Sections
For Each body As Body In section.ChildObjects
For Each bodyObj As DocumentObject In body.ChildObjects
If TypeOf bodyObj Is StructureDocumentTag Then
If TryCast(bodyObj, StructureDocumentTag).SDTProperties.SDTType = SdtType.ComboBox Then
Dim combo As SdtComboBox = TryCast(TryCast(bodyObj, StructureDocumentTag).SDTProperties.ControlProperties, SdtComboBox)
Dim item As New SdtListItem("D", "d")
combo.ListItems.Add(item)
For Each sdtItem As SdtListItem In combo.ListItems
If String.CompareOrdinal(sdtItem.Value, "d") = 0 Then
combo.ListItems.SelectedValue = sdtItem
End If
Next
combo.ListItems.RemoveAt(1)
End If
End If
Next
Next
Next
document.SaveToFile("result.docx", FileFormat.Docx2013)
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("result.docx")
