Hi

I am using below code to get all the paragraphs within the document.

paragraphs = CurrentSourceDocument.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, True).ToArray()

but the problem is it also include the paragraphs that are within cells of a table.

Can you please help me in getting only normal paragraphs(i.e.exclude paragraphs inside tables)

Thanks

Hello
Thanks for your request. You can try using the following code:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.docx");
foreach(Paragraph par in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
{
    if (par.GetAncestor(NodeType.Cell) != null)
        Console.WriteLine(par.GetText() + " - IsInsideTable");
}

Best regards,

Hello
Thanks for your request. In this case you should use the following code:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.docx");
foreach(Paragraph par in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
{
    if (par.GetAncestor(NodeType.HeaderFooter) != null)
        Console.WriteLine(par.GetText() + " - IsInsideHeaderFooter");
}

Hi,
Is their some way to exclude header and footers.
Currently i am using below code:

paragraphs = CurrentSourceDocument.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, True).ToArray()

I dont want to loop again and check if its header or footer node then remove.

Hello
Thanks for your request. The only way to exclude HeaderFooter paragraphs from a collection is loop through this collection and remove unneeded paragraphs.
Could you please also describe your main requirement, maybe I will find the other way to achieve what you need.
