I have TOC which has hyperlink to different part of document

Hello Team,
How to move to some specific chapter through code if I have some chapter name. Already it has hyperlink through code how can I navigate builder there

@Raghul214

To navigate to a specific chapter in a document using Aspose.Words, you can utilize bookmarks or hyperlinks. If your table of contents (TOC) already contains hyperlinks to different chapters, you can programmatically move the cursor to the desired chapter by using the DocumentBuilder class.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

  1. Insert a Bookmark: First, ensure that each chapter you want to navigate to has a bookmark. You can create bookmarks in your document using the DocumentBuilder class.

  2. Move to the Bookmark: Use the MoveToBookmark method of the DocumentBuilder to navigate to the specific chapter by its bookmark name.

Here’s a code example demonstrating how to insert a bookmark and then move to it:

using Aspose.Words;
using Aspose.Words.Builder;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create a new document and a DocumentBuilder.
        Document doc = new Document();
        DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

        // Insert a bookmark at the desired location.
        builder.StartBookmark("Chapter1");
        builder.Writeln("This is Chapter 1.");
        builder.EndBookmark("Chapter1");

        // Insert another chapter with a bookmark.
        builder.StartBookmark("Chapter2");
        builder.Writeln("This is Chapter 2.");
        builder.EndBookmark("Chapter2");

        // Save the document.
        doc.Save("Chapters.docx");

        // Now, to navigate to Chapter 1:
        builder.MoveToBookmark("Chapter1");
        builder.Writeln(" - Navigated to Chapter 1.");
        
        // Save the updated document.
        doc.Save("UpdatedChapters.docx");
    }
}

In this example:

  • We create a new document and use the DocumentBuilder to insert two chapters, each marked with a bookmark.
  • After saving the document, we demonstrate how to move to “Chapter1” using the MoveToBookmark method.

This approach allows you to programmatically navigate to specific chapters in your document based on their names, which can be particularly useful when working with a TOC that contains hyperlinks.

For more detailed information on using the DocumentBuilder and navigating through documents, you can refer to the official documentation on Document Builder Overview and Navigating Document Ranges.

Hello Team I will give a chapter name as input and I want to extract that chaper into seperate content how to achieve that

@Raghul214 You can use the technique described in the following article to learn how to extract content between nodes:
https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/how-to-extract-selected-content-between-nodes-in-a-document/

In your case it is required to determine the chapter’s starting an ending nodes. This fully depends on your document structure and technique might vary.

If I want to split the content of a document into separate documents based on Heading 1 ,2 how to achieve

Shall I get some sample code

@Raghul214 You can use the technique described here:
https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/how-to-extract-selected-content-between-nodes-in-a-document/#extract-content-between-paragraphs-based-on-style

Can I get a code sample for extracting basd on heading

@Raghul214 The code provided in the article does exactly this.

Where its mentioned…?

For Heading part I need to extract the content

@Raghul214 The provided code in the section Extract Content Between Paragraphs Based on Style demonstrates how to extract content between paragraphs of the specific styles. In your case you need to do the same extract content between heading style paragraphs.

Its a extract between Heading 1 and Heading 3…

I need to extract the content of Heading 1 only into separate document

Document doc = new Document(filePath);
 DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

 foreach (Section section in doc.Sections)
 {
     NodeCollection paragraphs = section.Body.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true);
     Document tmpDoc = null;
     string chapterHeading = null;

     foreach (Paragraph para in paragraphs)
     {
         if (para.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier == StyleIdentifier.Heading1)
         {
             if (tmpDoc != null && chapterHeading != null)
             {
                 string outputFilePath = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(filePath), $"{chapterHeading}.docx");
                 tmpDoc.Save(outputFilePath);
             }

             // Start a new document
             tmpDoc = new Document();
             chapterHeading = para.GetText().Trim();
             builder = new DocumentBuilder(tmpDoc);
         }

         if (tmpDoc != null)
         {
             Node importedNode = tmpDoc.ImportNode(para, true);
             tmpDoc.FirstSection.Body.AppendChild(importedNode);
         }
     }

     if (tmpDoc != null && chapterHeading != null)
     {
         string outputFilePath = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(filePath), $"{chapterHeading}.docx");
         tmpDoc.Save(outputFilePath);
     }
 }

currently I am using this way which collapses the table and all

@Raghul214 Just change the code to extract the content between heading 1 paragraphs. The technique is the same:

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

// Get heading1 paragraphs.
List<Paragraph> headings = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true).Cast<Paragraph>()
    .Where(p => p.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier == StyleIdentifier.Heading1).ToList();

Paragraph firstHeading = headings[0];
Paragraph secondHeading = headings[1];

// Extract content.
List<Node> nodes = ExtractContentHelper.ExtractContent(firstHeading, secondHeading, true);
Document extrctedContent = ExtractContentHelper.GenerateDocument(doc, nodes);

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

I try using this getting error of cannot insert not of this type at this location

And will this create a separate document for all headings

@Raghul214 Could you please attach your input document here for testing?
