Question

Anyone knows how can I change the text of a Word.Range object but still keeping it’s format? For example if I have ‘this text‘ and I change it to ‘that txt‘, txt will still be in bold.

I’m looking for a way to change the whole text of the range, not just a single word, as I’m getting the new text from an independent API, I can assume that the new text and the old text have the same number of words.

This is what I got so far:

    for (int i = 0; i < oldWords.Length; i++)     {         if (oldWords[i] == newWords[i])             continue;          object Replace = WdReplace.wdReplaceOne;         object FindText = oldWords[i];         object ReplaceWith = newWords[i];         var success = Sentence.Find.Execute(parameters stub);     }             

But for some reason, it only succeeds in the first Execute, because the range selection remains on the found word.

Edit: got it, after each execute, I had restore the original end position of my Range.

Thanks.

You can’t use the Execute method to change the text with formatting. You can do it like:

Range rng=doc.Content; rng.Find.Execute(ref finding, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing)  //if this method returns true, you will get the range at the finding location. if(rng.Find.Found) {   rng.Text='sth';   rng.Bold=0; } 

Maybe this can help you.
