Facing problem using Word.Find.Execute method

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

Hi,
I am working on creating a .doc file by using .dot(Template) file using
Word.ApplicationClass. In this process I am having few tags in the template
file which I am trying to replace with some content. But when I am trying to
insert large text as the replacement text, I am getting an error "String too
long".

Following are the piece of code that I am using:

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
WordDoc wd = new WordDoc();
wd.Open("D:\\PTS\\Test1.dot");
object str = textBox1.Text; // It is a multiline text box where large text
is inserted
wd.FindAndReplacement("<<Body>>", str);
wd.SaveAs("D:\\PTS\\Test.doc");
wd.Quit();
}

public void FindAndReplacement(string strFind, object strReplace)
{
Word.ApplicationClass oWordAppl = new Word.ApplicationClass();
object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
object story = Word.WdUnits.wdStory;
object ext = Word.WdMovementType.wdExtend;
object rp = Word.WdReplace.wdReplaceAll;
object strf = strFind;
object strr = strReplace;
oWordAppl.Selection.HomeKey(ref story,ref ext);
oWordAppl.Selection.Find.Execute(ref strf, ref missing, ref missing, ref
missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref strr, ref rp, ref missing,ref missing,ref missing, ref missing);
}

This code is however working for smaller texts. Please let me know if there
is anything wrong I m doing in this code. If the code is fine, then please
let me know how to fix the issue.

Note: I am using MS Word 2000 component in my C# aplication.

Thanx & regards,
Santhosh.B

Hi Santhosh,

the replacement string is limited to 255 characters.

Do You need help on a solution for longer strings,
or can You find out yourself, how to do it?

Maybe you even like to do it yourself. ;-)

Hi,
Thank you very much for the early reply.
My requirement is that I want to create a word document based on the inputs
given in a form. For ex: I have a form with the controls taking Header, Body
& footer details. I want to know which is the better way to create it. I have
couple of options in mind. Please let me know if any of the following
approach is fine or if there is any issues if I use any of these approach or
if there is any other way to achieve it.

1. I have text box controls that gets me Header, Body & Footer details and
then using these data, I go ahead and create a word document.
The issue with this approach is that I cannot use more than one formatting
techniques.
2. I use a .Net OCX component called DSO Framer with which I am free to
create any word document using all kinds of formatting.
The issue with this approach is that I am not able to disable just the
"save", "open", etc buttons individually.

Please let me know what I can do so that I can create the Body content using
DSO Framer kind of Active X controls and then add Header & Footer to that
content.

Thanks & Regards,
Santhosh.B

Why? What is a formatting technique?

Once you have a word document, all kinds of formatting should be possible.

I'm not competent in this field, sorry.

Hi,

I need to access the content of a given MS Word file.

For example the content is like this:
abcdefg
xyz
123

The file has 3 lines, and I need to get the 2nd line's value, in this case
"xyz".

Does anybody know how to do that? I have added the library and tried to do
it however it just can't seem to work. Really need an expert's help...

Thanks,
Santhosh

Assuming that the lines are separate pargraphs, use:

ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(2).Range
