Question

I have been trying to figure out how to read paragraph content which exists a heading. The heading itself is part of the table of contents. The heading will have a particular style (say Heading 1).

For example: “Introduction” is a entry in Table of content with style Heading 1. I want to read content under heading “Introduction” but not any more content (i.e not content under sub headings of Introduction)

I have been trying to do this using styles/style, TableofContent, Paragraphs/Paragraph,Range. Still cannot come up with a effective solution.

I am working in VB.NET in VS 2010. I am using the word 2007 object model (office 2007 interop) as described @ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb244515(v=office.12)

Any pointers would be appreciated

Answer 1

Finally i got the solution.

The code snippet below detects paragraphs which have “Heading 1” style

   For Each paragraph As Paragraph In doc.Paragraphs
        Dim style As NetOffice.WordApi.Style = paragraph.Style
        If style.NameLocal = "Heading 1" Then
            paragraph.Next()
            Console.WriteLine(paragraph.Range.Text)
            Console.WriteLine("*********")
        End If
    Next

Thanks
