Spire.Doc supports to retrieve, replace and delete bookmark content of a specified bookmark. This article will show you how we can get the plain text within a bookmark by using Spire.Doc with C# and VB.NET.
Step 1: Create a Document instance, and load a sample Word document.
Document doc = new Document();
doc.LoadFromFile("Bookmark.docx");
Step 2: Creates a BookmarkNavigator instance to access the bookmark.
BookmarksNavigator navigator = new BookmarksNavigator(doc);
Step 3: Locate a specific bookmark by bookmark name. Call the method GetBookmarkContent to get content within the bookmark.
navigator.MoveToBookmark("bookmark_1");
TextBodyPart textBodyPart = navigator.GetBookmarkContent();
Step 4: Iterate through the items in the bookmark content to get the plain, unformatted text of the bookmark.
string text = null;
foreach (var item in textBodyPart.BodyItems)
{
if (item is Paragraph)
{
foreach (var childObject in (item as Paragraph).ChildObjects)
{
if (childObject is TextRange)
{
text += (childObject as TextRange).Text;
}
}
}
}
Result:
