Hi
Thanks for your interest in Aspose products. I created a code example for you.

Paragraph startTag = null;
Paragraph endTag = null;
public void TestCopyContent_102684()
{
    Document doc = new Document(@"358_102684_isrc\in.doc");
    Regex regexStart = new Regex("\\[!INSERTTHIS!\\]");
    Regex regexEnd = new Regex("\\[!/INSERTTHIS!\\]");
    // Get paragraph containing start tag
    doc.Range.Replace(regexStart, new ReplaceEvaluator(ReplaceActionStart_102684), true);
    // Get paragraph containing end tag
    doc.Range.Replace(regexEnd, new ReplaceEvaluator(ReplaceActionEnd_102684), true);
    // remove content before start tag
    while (startTag.ParentSection.PreviousSibling != null)
    {
        startTag.ParentSection.PreviousSibling.Remove();
    }
    while (startTag.PreviousSibling != null)
    {
        startTag.PreviousSibling.Remove();
    }
    // remove content after end tag
    while (endTag.ParentSection.NextSibling != null)
    {
        endTag.ParentSection.NextSibling.Remove();
    }
    while (endTag.NextSibling != null)
    {
        endTag.NextSibling.Remove();
    }
    // remove start and end tags
    startTag.Remove();
    endTag.Remove();
    // save doc containing required content
    doc.Save(@"358_102684_isrc\out.doc");
}
// Get paragraph containing start tag
ReplaceAction ReplaceActionStart_102684(object sender, ReplaceEvaluatorArgs e)
{
    startTag = (e.MatchNode as Run).ParentParagraph;
    return ReplaceAction.Skip;
}
// Get paragraph containing end tag
ReplaceAction ReplaceActionEnd_102684(object sender, ReplaceEvaluatorArgs e)
{
    endTag = (e.MatchNode as Run).ParentParagraph;
    return ReplaceAction.Skip;
}

I hope that this code will help you.
Best regards.

Hi Thanks for reply. I tried your example with InsertDocument function to copy document. However I am not able to copy section breaks. Ca you please tell me how to do?
Currently it is copying only paragraphs inside the section nodes.

Hi
Thanks for your request. I modified the InsertDocument Method. See the following code.

public void InsertDocument_102684(Node insertAfterNode, Document srcDoc)
{
    // We need to make sure that the specified node is either pargraph or table.
    if (!((insertAfterNode.NodeType == NodeType.Paragraph) || (insertAfterNode.NodeType == NodeType.Table)))
        throw new ArgumentException("The destination node should be either paragraph or table.");
    // We will be inserting into the parent of the destination paragraph.
    CompositeNode dstStory = insertAfterNode.ParentNode;
    // This object will be translating styles and lists during the import.
    NodeImporter importer = new NodeImporter(srcDoc, insertAfterNode.Document, ImportFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting);
    Document dstDoc = dstStory.Document;
    Section dstSection = (dstStory as Body).ParentSection;
    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(dstDoc);
    int index = dstDoc.Sections.IndexOf((dstStory as Body).ParentSection);
    if (srcDoc.Sections.Count > 1)
    {
        builder.MoveToSection(index);
        builder.MoveToParagraph(dstSection.Body.Paragraphs.IndexOf(insertAfterNode), -1);
        builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.SectionBreakContinuous);
    }
    // Loop through all sections in the source document.
    foreach (Section srcSection in srcDoc.Sections)
    {
        int i = 0;
        if (srcSection.Equals(srcDoc.FirstSection))
        {
            // Loop through all block level nodes (paragraphs and tables) in the body of the section.
            foreach (Node srcNode in srcSection.Body)
            {
                i++;
                // Do not insert node if it is a last empty paragarph in the section.
                Paragraph para = srcNode as Paragraph;
                if ((para != null) && para.IsEndOfSection && !para.HasChildNodes)
                    break;
                // This creates a clone of the node, suitable for insertion into the destination document.
                Node newNode = importer.ImportNode(srcNode, true);
                // Insert new node after the reference node.
                dstStory.InsertAfter(newNode, insertAfterNode);
                insertAfterNode = newNode;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Node newNode = importer.ImportNode(srcSection, true);
            dstDoc.Sections.Insert(index + 1, newNode);
        }
    }
}

I hope that this code will help you.
Best regards.

Thanks, it worked !
One more question. Please have a look to attached document to main thread.
I want to copy part of document from [!InsertThis!] to [!/InsertThis!] 2 times. However I am finding difficulty to copy same section in same document. Can you please guide us?

Hi
Thanks for your inquiry. I think that you can use Clone function to solve this problem. For example see the following code.

doc1.AppendChild(sect);
doc1.AppendChild(sect.Clone(true));

I hope that this will help you.
Best regards.
