Understand the structure of a WordprocessingML document WordprocessingDocument.Open(fileName, True) WordprocessingDocument.Open(fileName, true)) In this example the parameter is true to enable read/write access to the file. The second parameter takes a value of true or false and represents whether to open the file for editing.
The first parameter takes a string that represents the full path to the document to open.
The following sample code shows how to use the WordprocessingDocument.Open overload. To create the class instance, call one of the overloads of the Open() method. The content in the main document part is represented in the package as XML using WordprocessingML markup. After you create the instance, use it to obtain access to the main document part that contains the text of the document. To open and work with a Word document, create an instance of the WordprocessingDocument class from the document. In the Open XML SDK, the WordprocessingDocument class represents a Word document package. To use the method to apply a style to a paragraph in a document, you first need a reference to the open document. The Sample Code section also shows the code required to set up for calling the sample method. The complete sample code listing can be found in the Sample Code section at the end of this topic. The following sections in this topic explain the implementation of this method and the supporting code, as well as how to call it. Public Sub ApplyStyleToParagraph(ByVal doc As WordprocessingDocument,īyVal styleid As String, ByVal stylename As String, ByVal p As Paragraph) public static void ApplyStyleToParagraph(WordprocessingDocument doc, string styleid, string stylename, Paragraph p) The method accepts four parameters that indicate: the reference to the opened word processing document, the styleid of the style to be applied, the name of the style to be applied, and the reference to the paragraph to which to apply the style. You must first obtain a reference to the document as well as a reference to the paragraph that you want to style. The ApplyStyleToParagraph example method can be used to apply a style to a paragraph. You must also use the following using directives or Imports statements to compile the code in this topic. DocumentFormat.OpenXml (installed by the Open XML SDK).You must explicitly reference the following assemblies in your project:
To use the sample code in this topic, you must install the Open XML SDK 2.5.
It contains an example ApplyStyleToParagraph method to illustrate this task, plus several supplemental example methods to check whether a style exists, add a new style, and add the styles part. Ideally, your Side Heading style should be set up to ensure that Widows and Orphan control is on, and that “Keep with next” is selected.This topic shows how to use the classes in the Open XML SDK 2.5 for Office to programmatically apply a style to a paragraph within a word processing document. “Widow and Orphan control” is a tricky little feature that behaves differently in different versions of Word.
Text for following paragraph has spilt over to the next page Orphan: a line on its own at the end of the page Example of an orphan Widow: a line on its own at the beginning of the next page
Widows and Orphans are the terms referring to lines left on their own either at the beginning or end of the page of a multi-page document. Applies to: Word 2010, Word 2013, Word 2016ĭid you ever wonder what Widows and Orphans were in Word?
