Backspace command

Hi, I have a bookmark on my page that if the source does not exist, the selection needs to be backspaced (as in MS word). Can I do this in aspose.word?

This is the code that is used for the MSWord COM object for example:

if (bookmark.Name.Contains("AddressLine2") && (data == string.Empty))
{
    bookmark.Range.Select();
    bookmark.Range.Text = data;
    wordApp.Selection.TypeBackspace();
}
else
{
    bookmark.Range.Text = data;
}

Hi
Thanks for your request. I think that you can just set bookmark text as empty string. For example see the following code.

doc.Range.Bookmarks["myBookamrk"].Text = string.Empty;

Hope this helps. Also you can attach your document here for testing. I will investigate it and try to help you.
Best regards.

Sorry, what I am trying to do is as follows:

Original document with bookmarks:
Line1
Line2
Line3

What I want after the mailmerging:
Line1
Line3

The line2 is removed completely, not like
Line1

Line3

I need to move the bookmarks up.

I tried using Aspose.Editor but I cannot see how the both can interface with each other. I hope this helps my explanation.

I’ve also uploaded a file that I’m trying to use it with.

Hi
Thanks for your request. I think that you can try removing paragraph. For example you can try using the following code.

// Open document
Document doc = new Document(@"Test115\in.doc");
// Get bookmark
Bookmark myBookmark = doc.Range.Bookmarks["myBookmark"];
// Remove parent paragraph 
myBookmark.BookmarkStart.GetAncestor(typeof(Paragraph)).Remove();
// Save output document
doc.Save(@"Test115\out.doc");

I hope this could help you.
Best regards.
