Hi there

i found examples on how to get the sequence numbers using
Field.Result

How do i get the text portion of the sequence?
for example, how do i get the Blah portion below?

  1. Blah Blah
  2. Blah Blah

thanks.

@gavinduffy,

Please try using the following code:

foreach(Paragraph para in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
{
    if (para.IsListItem)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(para.ToString(SaveFormat.Text));
    }
}

In case the problem still remains, please ZIP and upload your input Word document and a screenshot (highlighting the portion of text that you want to get) here for testing. We will then investigate the issue on our end and provide you more information.

@gavinduffy,

Please try using the following code:

Document doc = new Document("E:\\temp\\test.doc");

foreach (Paragraph para in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
{
    if (para.FirstChild.NodeType == NodeType.FieldStart)
    {
        Field field = para.Range.Fields[0];
        if (field.Type == FieldType.FieldSequence)
        {
            field.Remove();

            Run run = para.Runs[0];
            run.Text = run.Text.Replace(".", "");
            run.Text = run.Text.Replace(ControlChar.Tab, "");

            Console.WriteLine(para.ToString(SaveFormat.Text));
            Console.WriteLine("=============================");
        }                    
    }
}
