Hi Ajeesh,

Thanks for your inquiry. In Ms Word document each section can have 3 types of headers and 3 types of footers. If you need to get text of the particular header or footer of the particular section, you should just get the HeaderFooter object of the appropriate type and get its text. The HeaderFooterType identifies the type of header or footer found in a Word file.

The following code shows how to get text from the primary header of the first section of MS Word document:

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Headout.docx");

// Get primary header of the appropriate type and print its text.
HeaderFooter primaryHeader = doc.FirstSection.HeadersFooters[HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary];
if (primaryHeader != null)
    Console.WriteLine(primaryHeader.GetText());

Please use the following code snippet to get the text of Primary header of all sections in the document.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Headout.docx");
String headerText = "";
foreach(Section section in doc.Sections)
{
    foreach(HeaderFooter headerfooter in section.HeadersFooters)
    {
        if (headerfooter.HeaderFooterType == HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary)
        {
            headerText += headerfooter.GetText();
        }
    }
}
