How to iterate through document bookmarks and find bookmarks located in tables cells

created 4 years ago (modified 4 years ago)

Hello,

in our project we use some "legacy" .dotx word templates to fill with data.
These templates are still in use by an old access application.
It's intended to use these old templates more ore less unmodified by the new wpf application.

Here is the problem:
The templates contain tables.
In the rows of these tables are bookmarks.

The old process is filling in data at the position of the bookmarks.
If there is no data, the whole table row, where the bookmark is, gets deleted from the table.

Currently I can not find a connection between a bookmark and a table(row) and therefore can not figure out, which row to delete.

An example is attached.

Thank you.

Hi Norman,
To accomplish this task, you need to iterate through the RichEditControl.Document.Bookmarks collection. For each bookmark, obtain the table cell where this bookmark is located using the Document.Tables.GetTableCellDocument.Tables.GetTableCell method (pass the bookmark start position to the GetTableCell method as a parameter). The GetTableCell method returns the TableCell object that stores the parent table row in the Row property. To delete this row, invoke the TableRow.Delete method.
I hope that you will find this information helpful.
