Comments in Word are author reviews about specified contents. It can be removed and replaced with other comments for showing different reviews. Spire.Doc for .NET provides several methods with users to remove and replace comments in different situations. The following screenshot is a document with comments without removing and replacing.

Remove

There are three possibilities to remove comments.

• Remove One Comment: Method Document.Comments.RemoveAt enables users to remove one specified comment item. The index number is passed to this method to confirm which comment will be removed.
• Remove All Comments: Method Document.Comments.Clear() enables users to remove all comments in loaded Word document.
• Remove Part of One Comment (Body Paragraph): Firstly, get the specified comment item in document. Secondly, get paragraph collection in comments body. Thirdly, use method ParagraphCollection.RemoveAt method to remove body paragraph. The index number is passed to this method to confirm which paragraph will be removed.

Replace

It means to replace contents of body paragraphs in one specified comments. So at the beginning, the comment item and paragraph item in comment body should be gotten. Method Paragraph.Replace method can be used to replace comments. There are six possibilities this method provides.

• Replace regular expression pattern with replace string (the new comment).
• Replace regular expression pattern with text selection.
• Replace regular expression pattern with text selection taking into consideration of preserving comment formatting.
• Replace given string (original comment contents) with replace string, taking into consideration of case-sensitive and whole word option.
• Replace given string with text selection, taking into consideration of case-sensitive and whole word option.
• Replace give string with text selection, taking into consideration of case-sensitive, whole word options and formatting preservation.

The following example shows how to replace body paragraph of the first comment and remove the whole second comment in the loaded document. Download and install Spire.Doc for .NET and use the following code.

using Spire.Doc;

namespace RemoveandReplace
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Load Document
            Document document = new Document();
            document.LoadFromFile(@"E:\work\Documents\WordDocuments\A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND.docx");

            //Replace Contents of The First Comment
            document.Comments[0].Body.Paragraphs[0].Replace("It’s a title with Mistral font style.", "This comment is changed.", false, false);

            //Remove The Second Comment
            document.Comments.RemoveAt(1);

            //Save and Launch
            document.SaveToFile("RemoveandReplace.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("RemoveandReplace.docx");
        }
    }
}

Imports Spire.Doc

Namespace RemoveandReplace
    Friend Class Program
        Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
            'Load Document
            Dim document As New Document()
            document.LoadFromFile("E:\work\Documents\WordDocuments\A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND.docx")

            'Replace Contents of The First Comment
            document.Comments(0).Body.Paragraphs(0).Replace("It’s a title with Mistral font style.", "This comment is changed.", False, False)

            'Remove The Second Comment
            document.Comments.RemoveAt(1)

            'Save and Launch
            document.SaveToFile("RemoveandReplace.docx", FileFormat.Docx)
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("RemoveandReplace.docx")
        End Sub

Spire.Doc, a professional Word component, enables developers/programmers perform a wide range of processing tasks, such as generate, write, modify and save for their customize .NET, Silverlight and WPF applications.

Word endnote is often put in the end of the document, which presents references of referred words/sentences/paragraphs. It includes two parts, marker and text. Marker can be customized or ordered automatically (i, ii, iii…). When one endnote is added, deleted or moved, the marker will be reordered automatically.

Spire.Doc for .NET, a stand-alone component used to manipulate Word document for .NET applications, enables users to insert endnote in Word by using C#, VB.NET. This guide introduces a method about how to realize this function via Spire.Doc for .NET.

Because endnote is included in footnote class, so invoke p.AppendFootnote(FootnoteType.Endnote) method to insert endnote. Then, use endnote.TextBody.AddParagraph().AppendText(string) method to add text and set CharacterFormat and MarkerCharacterFormat properties for endnote text and marker format. Download and install Spire.Doc for .NET and use the following code to insert endnote in Word.

using System.Drawing;
using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using Spire.Doc.Fields;

namespace WordEndnote
{
    class InsertEndnote
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            Document doc = new Document();
            doc.LoadFromFile(@"E:\Work\Documents\WordDocuments\Antarctic.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
            Section s = doc.Sections[0];
            Paragraph p = s.Paragraphs[3];

            //Add Footnote
            Footnote endnote = p.AppendFootnote(FootnoteType.Endnote);

            //Append Text
            TextRange text = endnote.TextBody.AddParagraph().AppendText("Reference: Wikipedia");

            //Text Format
            text.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Impact";
            text.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 14;

Creating barcodes in a Word document is a useful technique for enhancing productivity and organization. Barcodes facilitate quick scanning and tracking, making them essential for businesses, events, and personal projects.

This article explains two methods for creating barcodes in a Word document using C#: one with barcode fonts via Spire.Doc for .NET API, and the other using a Barcode API alongside the Word API.

• Create Barcodes in a Word Document Using Barcode Fonts
• Create Barcodes in a Word Document Using Barcode API

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

Create Barcodes in a Word Document Using Barcode Fonts

A barcode font is a typeface that converts alphanumeric data into a scannable format of bars and spaces. To use it, you typically need to install the font on your system and then format text in a Word document.

The steps to create barcodes in a Word document using barcode fonts are as follows:

• Download and install the desired barcode font on your computer.
• Create a Document object.
• Load a Word file using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
• Get a specific section and add a paragraph using Section.AddParagraph() method.
• Add text to the paragraph using Paragraph.AppendText() method.
• Apply the barcode font to the text using TextRange.CharacterFormat.FontName property.
• Set the font size and color for the text.
• Save the document to a different Word file.

using Spire.Doc;
using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using Spire.Doc.Fields;
using System.Drawing;

namespace Name
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Create a Document object
            Document document = new Document();

            // Load a Word file
            document.LoadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\input.docx");

            // Get a specific section 
            Section section = document.Sections[0];

            // Add a paragraph
            Paragraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();

            // Append text to the paragraph
            TextRange txtRang = paragraph.AppendText("Hello,World");

            // Apply barcode font to the text
            txtRang.CharacterFormat.FontName = "Code 128";

            // Set the font size and text color
            txtRang.CharacterFormat.FontSize = 80;
            txtRang.CharacterFormat.TextColor = Color.Black;

            // Save the document to a different Word file
            document.SaveToFile("Barcode.docx", FileFormat.Docx);

            // Dispose resources
            document.Dispose();
        }
    }
}

Create Barcodes in a Word Document Using Barcode API

Spire.Barcode for .NET is a Barcode API that allows you to easily create a barcode with customized settings, such as barcode type, data, size, and color. You can install the library from NuGet using the following command.

PM> Install-Package Spire.Barcode

After the barcode image is created, you can then insert it to a Word document with the help of the Spire.Doc for .NET library.

The steps to create barcode in a Word document using a Barcode API are as follows:

• Install Spire.Barcode for .NET in your .NET program.
• Create a BarcodeSettings object.
• Specify the barcode type, data, width and other attributes using the properties under the BarcodeSettings object.
• Generate a barcode image based on the settings using BarCodeGenerator.GenerateImage() method.
• Create a Document object.
• Load a Word file using Document.LoadFromFile() method.
• Get a specific section and add a paragraph using Section.AddParagraph() method.
• Add the barcode image to the paragraph using Paragraph.AppendPicture() method.
• Save the document to a different Word file.

using Spire.Doc.Documents;
using System.Drawing;

namespace Name
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Create a BarcodeSettings object
            BarcodeSettings settings = new BarcodeSettings();

            // Set barcode type
            settings.Type = BarCodeType.QRCode;

            // Set barcode data
            settings.Data2D = "Hello, World";

            // Set the other attributes of the barcode
            settings.X = 1.5f;
            settings.QRCodeECL = QRCodeECL.H;
            settings.ShowTopText = false;
            settings.ShowText = false;

            // Create a BarCodeGenerator object
            BarCodeGenerator generator = new BarCodeGenerator(settings);

            // Generate a barcode image
            Image image = generator.GenerateImage();

            // Create a Document object
            Document document = new Document();

            // Load a Word file
            document.LoadFromFile("C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\target.docx");

            // Get a specific section 
            Section section = document.Sections[0];

            // Add a paragraph
            Paragraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();

            // Add the barcode image to the paragraph
            paragraph.AppendPicture(image);

            // Save the document to a different Word file
