I have created a custom type for a document object. How would I apply that style to the entire content of a footer or header where the footer/header already has text?

@dkapell,

Please try using the following code:

Document doc = new Document("D:\\temp\\footerstyle\\input.docx");

foreach (Section sec in doc.Sections)
{
    foreach (HeaderFooter hf in sec.HeadersFooters)
    {
        if (hf.HeaderFooterType == HeaderFooterType.FooterFirst ||
            hf.HeaderFooterType == HeaderFooterType.FooterEven ||
            hf.HeaderFooterType == HeaderFooterType.FooterPrimary)
        {
            foreach (Paragraph para in hf.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
            {
                Style style = doc.Styles["FooterStyle1"];
                if (style == null)
                {
                    style = doc.Styles.Add(StyleType.Paragraph, "FooterStyle1");
                    style.Font.Size = 24;
                    style.Font.Name = "Verdana";
                    style.ParagraphFormat.SpaceAfter = 12;

                }
                para.ParagraphFormat.Style = style;
            }
        }
    }
}

doc.Save("D:\\Temp\\footerstyle\\18.5.docx");

That seems to work to some extent. The font type for the entire footer is set to Verdana, but the font size is only changed for the hanging carriage return. See attached image

@dkapell,

To get desired results, you can remove direct font formatting applied to Run nodes inside Paragraphs. Please try the following code:

Document doc = new Document("D:\\temp\\footerstyle\\input.docx");

foreach (Section sec in doc.Sections)
{
    foreach (HeaderFooter hf in sec.HeadersFooters)
    {
        if (hf.HeaderFooterType == HeaderFooterType.FooterFirst ||
            hf.HeaderFooterType == HeaderFooterType.FooterEven ||
            hf.HeaderFooterType == HeaderFooterType.FooterPrimary)
        {
            foreach (Paragraph para in hf.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
            {
                foreach(Run run in para.Runs)
                {
                    run.Font.ClearFormatting();
                }

                Style style = doc.Styles["FooterStyle1"];
                if (style == null)
                {
                    style = doc.Styles.Add(StyleType.Paragraph, "FooterStyle1");
                    style.Font.Size = 24;
                    style.Font.Name = "Verdana";
                    style.ParagraphFormat.SpaceAfter = 12;

                }
                para.ParagraphFormat.Style = style;
            }
        }
    }
}

doc.Save("D:\\Temp\\footerstyle\\18.5.docx");
