EPUB is a standard file format for publishing eBooks or other electronic documents. The content in an EPUB file is reflowable, which means that the content automatically adjusts itself to fit the screen it is being displayed on. People who want to publish their eBooks may need to convert their works stored in Word documents to EPUB files. In this article, you will learn how to programmatically achieve this task using Spire.Doc for .NET.
Install Spire.Doc for .NET
To begin with, you need to add the DLL files included in the Spire.Doc for .NET package as references in your .NET project. The DLL files can be either downloaded from this link or installed via NuGet.
PM> Install-Package Spire.Doc
Convert Word to EPUB
The detailed steps are as follows:
- Create a Document instance.
- Load a sample Word document using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Save the document to EPUB using Document.SaveToFile() method.
- C#
- VB.NET
using Spire.Doc;
namespace WordtoEPUB
{
class Epub
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a Document instance
Document document = new Document();
//Load a sample Word document
document.LoadFromFile("demo.docx");
//Convert the Word document to EPUB
document.SaveToFile("ToEpub.epub", FileFormat.EPub);
}
}
}
Convert Word to EPUB with a Cover Image
The detailed steps are as follows.
- Create a Document instance.
- Load a sample Word document using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Create a DocPicture instance, and then load an image using DocPicture.LoadImage() method.
- Save the Word document to EPUB with cover image using Document.SaveToEpub(String, DocPicture) method.
- C#
- VB.NET
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Fields;
using System.Drawing;
namespace ConvertWordToEpubWithCoverImage
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a Document instance
Document doc = new Document();
//Load a sample Word document
doc.LoadFromFile("demo.docx");
//Create a DocPicture instance
DocPicture picture = new DocPicture(doc);
//Load an image
picture.LoadImage(Image.FromFile("CoverImage.png"));
//Save the Word document to EPUB with cover image
doc.SaveToEpub("ToEpubWithCoverImage.epub", picture);
}
}
}

Long papers or research reports are often completed collaboratively by multiple people. To save time, each person can work on their assigned parts in separate documents and then merge these documents into one after finish editing. Apart from manually copying and pasting content from one Word document to another, this article will demonstrate the following two ways to merge Word documents programmatically using Spire.Doc for .NET .
Install Spire.Doc for .NET
To begin with, you need to add the DLL files included in the Spire.Doc for.NET package as references in your .NET project. The DLL files can be either downloaded from this link or installed via NuGet.
PM> Install-Package Spire.Doc
Merge Documents by Inserting the Entire File
The Document.InsertTextFromFile() method provided by Spire.Doc for .NET allows merging Word documents by inserting other documents entirely into a document. Using this method, the contents of the inserted document will start from a new page. The detailed steps are as follows:
- Create a Document instance.
- Load the original Word document using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
- Insert another Word document entirely to the original document using Document.InsertTextFromFile() method.
- Save the result document using Document.SaveToFile() method.
- C#
- VB.NET
using Spire.Doc;
namespace MergeWord
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a Document instance
Document document = new Document();
//Load the original Word document
document.LoadFromFile("Doc1.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
//Insert another Word document entirely to the original document
document.InsertTextFromFile("Doc2.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
//Save the result document
document.SaveToFile("MergedWord.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
}
}
}
Merge Documents by Cloning Contents
If you want to merge documents without starting a new page, you can clone the contents of other documents to add to the end of the original document. The detailed steps are as follows:
- Load two Word documents.
- Loop through the second document to get all the sections using Document.Sections property, and then loop through all the sections to get their child objects using Section.Body.ChildObjects property.
- Get the last section of the first document using Document.LastSection property, and then add the child objects to the last section of the first document using LastSection.Body.ChildObjects.Add() method.
- Save the result document using Document.SaveToFile() method.
- C#
- VB.NET
using Spire.Doc;
namespace MergeWord
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Load two Word documents
Document doc1 = new Document("Doc1.docx");
Document doc2 = new Document("Doc2.docx");
//Loop through the second document to get all the sections
foreach (Section section in doc2.Sections)
{
//Loop through the sections of the second document to get their child objects
foreach (DocumentObject obj in section.Body.ChildObjects)
{
// Get the last section of the first document
Section lastSection = doc1.LastSection;
//Add all child objects to the last section of the first document
lastSection.Body.ChildObjects.Add(obj.Clone());
}
}
// Save the result document
doc1.SaveToFile("MergeDocuments.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
}
}
}

Extract Comments from Word Document and Save in TXT File in C#, VB.NET
2013-02-18 07:33:05 Written by KoohjiWord comments can be reviews or thoughts about part of contents or explanations or references of specified phrase, sentence or paragraph given by author. Also, the existing comments can be extracted from document and solution in this guide demonstrates how to extract Word comments and save to TXT file in C# and Visual Basic via Spire.Doc for .NET.
Spire.Doc for .NET, one easy-to-use .NET Word component to preform Word tasks, provides a Comment class to enable users to get comments in Word and paragraphs of comment body. The screenshot below shows the original documents with two comments.
Download and install Spire.Doc for .NET and follow the steps to extract Word comments. Firstly, initialize a StringBuilder instance to save extracted comments. Secondly, use a foreach statement to get all comments in Word and use another foreach statement to get each paragraph of body of each comment. Then, invoke StringBuilder.AppendLine method to append a copy of comment string followed by default line terminator to the end of the current StringBuilder object. The parameter passed to this method is string value which is comment paragraph text. Thirdly, invoke File.WrtieAllText method to create a new TXT file with comments text as contents. The parameters passed to this method are string path and string contents. Code as following:
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using Spire.Doc.Fields;
namespace ExtractComments
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Load Document
Document doc = new Document();
doc.LoadFromFile(@"E:\Work\Document\A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND.docx");
//Extract Comment
StringBuilder SB = new StringBuilder();
foreach(Comment comment in doc.Comments)
{
foreach (Paragraph p in comment.Body.Paragraphs)
{
SB.AppendLine(p.Text);
}
}
//Save to TXT File
File.WriteAllText("CommentExtraction.txt", SB.ToString());
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CommentExtraction.txt");
}
}
}
Imports System.Text
Imports System.IO
Imports Spire.Doc
Imports Spire.Doc.Documents
Imports Spire.Doc.Fields
Namespace ExtractComments
Friend Class Program
Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
'Load Document
Dim doc As New Document()
doc.LoadFromFile("E:\Work\Document\A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND.docx")
'Extract Comment
Dim SB As New StringBuilder()
For Each comment As Comment In doc.Comments
For Each p As Paragraph In comment.Body.Paragraphs
SB.AppendLine(p.Text)
Next p
Next comment
'Save to TXT File
File.WriteAllText("CommentExtraction.txt", SB.ToString())
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CommentExtraction.txt")
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
After debugging, the following result will be presented:
