Header/Footer Update

Can I get some sample code on modifying the Header/Footer of word docs? I currently read in the document and use the DocumentBuilder to write(). This all works fine.

However, I will need to modify and/or replace the complete Header.

Here is an example for header/footer creation:

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Set to 'true' if you want different headers/footers for first, even and odd pages.

builder.getPageSetup().setDifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter(false);

builder.getPageSetup().setOddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter(false);

builder.getPageSetup().setHeaderDistance(20);

builder.moveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.Header_Primary);

builder.getParagraphFormat().setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.Right);

builder.write("ASPOSE.WORDS DYNAMIC TEMPLATE");

builder.moveToHeaderFooter(HeaderFooterType.Footer_Primary);

// Insert table with invisible borders to align one part of the footer information to the left,

// and the other to the right.

builder.getRowFormat.setAllowAutoFit(true);

builder.startTable();

// Set font properties for the footer.

builder.getFont().setSize(12);

builder.getFont().setName("Arial");

// Insert 'Page X of Y' info, aligned to the left.

builder.insertCell();

builder.write("Page ");

builder.insertField("PAGE", "");

builder.write(" of ");

builder.insertField("NUMPAGES", "");

builder.getCellFormat().setWidth(WordConvert.pixelToPoint(500));

builder.getCurrentParagraph().getParagraphFormat().setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.Left);

// Insert copyright info, aligned to the right.

builder.insertCell();

builder.write("(C) 2005 Aspose Pty Ltd. All rights reserved.");

builder.getCellFormat().setWidth(WordConvert.pixelToPoint(1000));

builder.getCurrentParagraph().getParagraphFormat().setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.Right);

builder.endRow();

builder.endTable();

To clean up headers/footers in the section use

section.ClearHeadersFooters();

Another example shows how to replace text in headers/footers:

doc.getFirstSection().getHeadersFooters[HeaderFooterType.Footer_Primary].getRange().replace("(C) 2005 Aspose Pty Ltd.", "(C) 2006 Aspose Pty Ltd.", true, true);

To manipulate existing headers/footers content you need to use them same approach as with section content. Header/Footer contains treelike structure of nodes (paragraphs, tables, runs, etc.) You can get a hold of any of them through indexers and getChild methods, and then you can add/remove nodes or change the text of runs.
