Hi,


I am building a clean document for my client, for that reason I want to remove SET and REF once I am done processing the document.

I am able to remove SET and REF but I am not able to preserve the format of REF field.

Here, I have attached my test project for your reference. I am using 14.5.0.0 version of Aspose.Words.dll

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi John,


Thanks for your inquiry. Please use the FieldsHelper.ConvertFieldsToStaticText method to achieve your requirement. Please check the code of FieldsHelper class in the following article:
http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/wordsnet/How+to++Replace+Fields+with+Static+Text


// Your code...

// ....

DataSet ds = new DataSet();

ds.Tables.Add(dt);

Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "TableSet.docx");

doc.MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegions(ds);

// Pass the appropriate parameters to convert all IF fields encountered in the document (including headers and footers) to static text.

FieldsHelper.ConvertFieldsToStaticText(doc, FieldType.FieldRef);

//Remove SET fields

NodeCollection starts = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.FieldStart, true);

foreach (FieldStart start in starts)

{

if (start.FieldType == FieldType.FieldSet)

{

start.GetField().Remove();

}

}

doc.UpdateFields();

doc.Save(dataDir + "TableSet - Output.docx");
