@Princeshivananjappa,

While I work on an answer I will let you know why the following line does not work:

var textParagraph = paragraph.ToString(SaveFormat.Text).Trim();

The line above will not work because it adds the whole paragraph, including the comments, so the content is actually “Training AudienceThis is the I found”.
Which are the paragraph and the comment together.

I will post a solution soon.

@Princeshivananjappa,

The following code will help you with your request.

private void Logic(Document doc)
{
    string descriptionForTableToFind = "*Process Owner/Service Owner communicates to HR Training Coordinator any additional roles/colleagues hello.";
    string headingToFind = "Training Audience";
    var listParagraphs = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true).Cast<Paragraph>();

    foreach (Paragraph paragraph in listParagraphs)
    {
        if (paragraph.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier == StyleIdentifier.Heading1)
        {                    
            paragraph.JoinRunsWithSameFormatting();
            foreach (Run runHeading in paragraph.Runs)
            {
                if (runHeading.Text.Equals(headingToFind, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
                {
                    if (paragraph.NextSibling is Table) // The next node is a table
                    {

@carlosmc Your given code is comparing only starting line .its not comparing ending of the line. kindly help me.
please find the below mentioned screen short

carlos.molina · February 6, 2023, 2:24pm

@Princeshivananjappa,

You have to remember that word documents are free flow, so there is no end of the line. You will have to come up with your own logic to compare. I am comparing the contents in the runs with the same format
(But you removed that line in your code as is shown in your picture).
If you modify the logic, the result wont be the same. You can have runs with different formats and modify that code according to your own criteria. But that is something for you to decide and code depending in your requirements.

Princeshivananjappa · February 6, 2023, 2:35pm

@carlosmc I used same code what you given I just modifying content not equals. but i am getting only staring of the string.
one more thing below code is adding 4 times same comment for content.
and we are not modifying anything in other heading content but its re-writing why?

@Princeshivananjappa,

You can clearly see in your picture that you commented the code of the following line:

paragraphSibling.JoinRunsWithSameFormatting();

Is in the image attached, so the code you are running and the code you are pasting is not the same.

@carlosmc Sorry for that.

@Princeshivananjappa,

You will have to add your own custom logic to the comparison. You can loop throu all the runs and save it, in a variable and then do the comparison. But since this is something generic that you need to do(string comparison) You can do change that line for a function, with your own code and logic.

Thats why I used the “JoinRunsWithSameFormatting” method. You can replace that by your own function with your own code.
