@srinu12 \r is usually a paragraph break, so if you need to remove it, you should remove whole paragraph. Could you please attach your input and expected output document along with code you are using to remove the table title? We will check and provide you more information.

@srinu12 If you are using Range.Replace method, you can use a special &p metacharacter to match paragraph break. For example the following code removes all paragraph breaks in your document:

Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Temp\in.docx");
doc.Range.Replace("&p", "");
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.docx");

in.docx (12.1 KB) out.docx (9.5 KB)

But if you need to remove whole paragraph that represent the title, simply use Paragraph.Remove method:

Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Temp\in.docx");
// Get the paragraph you need to remove.
// For demonstration purposes the second paragraph is removed.
Paragraph para = doc.FirstSection.Body.Paragraphs[1];
para.Remove();
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.docx");

@alexey.noskov by using above code removing paragraph breaks but its also removing its caption style.and other styles pls look in to this.

@srinu12 This is expected behavior, since style is applied to the paragraph. When you remove paragraph break, you actually remove the paragraph and copies its content to the neighbor paragraph, which might have different style applied.
Could you please attach your input and expected output documents here for our reference, we will check them and provide you more information,

@srinu12 In your case you simply need to remove an empty paragraph after the table title. Please see the following code:

Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Temp\in.docx");

List<Field> tableTitleSeqFields = doc.Range.Fields
    .Where(f => (f.Type == FieldType.FieldSequence) && (((FieldSeq)f).SequenceIdentifier == "Table")).ToList();

foreach (Field f in tableTitleSeqFields)
{
    // Get parent paragraph.
    Paragraph title = f.Start.GetAncestor(NodeType.Paragraph) as Paragraph;

    if (title != null)
    {
        // Remove next paragraph after title if it is empty.
        Paragraph nextPara = title.NextSibling as Paragraph;
        if (nextPara != null && !nextPara.HasChildNodes)
            nextPara.Remove();
    }
}

doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.docx");

@alexey.noskov i need to remove paragraph break only not an empty paragraph.

@srinu12 Paragraph break produces a new paragraph so removing paragraph break actually removes the paragraph. The provided code produces the output that looks exactly as your expected output.
