Hi There,
I’m adding footnote to word document generated using aspose.NET component. I’m using ReplaceHandler to search and add footnote, as explained in Inserting a footnote marker in the middle of a paragraph
public class ReplaceHandler : IReplacingCallback
{
ReplaceAction IReplacingCallback.Replacing(ReplacingArgs e)
{
e.Replacement = e.Match.ToString();
Footnote footnote = new Footnote(e.MatchNode.Document, FootnoteType.Footnote);
e.MatchNode.ParentNode.InsertAfter(footnote, e.MatchNode);
footnote.Paragraphs.Add(new Paragraph(e.MatchNode.Document));
footnote.Font.Size = 10;
footnote.Font.Superscript = true;
footnote.FirstParagraph.Runs.Add(new Run(e.MatchNode.Document, “This is a test footnote.”));
return ReplaceAction.Replace;
}
}
I have 2 issues while adding the footnote.
1. The footnote “This is a test footnote” appears without any reference number.
2. There may be a chance that the text I try to replace may come multiple times. But I would like to number it with one reference number and one footnote.
Eg. I try to replace a text “HELP”, the document contains 5 “HELP” text in it. When I try to replace it creates 4 footnotes. I would like to limit the number of footnote to 1. All the 4 “HELP” should have reference to one footnote only.
I have added 2 documents.
Aspose-original.docx : Contains 4 multiple footnote for same text.
Aspose-expected.docx : Expected format with one footnote with reference to 4 HELP text in the document. [I manually edited it, the reference tooltip of footnote text not appearing in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th on HELP text]
I would like to see the footnote output as in the expected document. Please guide me how to achieve this.
Thank you.
