Hi Siva,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please refer to the following article:

Currently, you can not set “reply comment” to a comment using Aspose.Words. Your request has been linked to the appropriate issue ( WORDSNET-9959 ) and you will be notified as soon as it is supported. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

You need to understand DOM hierarchy of Aspose.Words Document object. After that you should be able to insert new comment at a valid place in document. Please refer to the following article:

I hope, this helps.

Hi,

Has the reply to comment feature been added to Aspose Words yet? I don’t see any documentation related to it.

Hi Siva,


This problem actually requires us to implement a new feature in Aspose.Words and we regret to share with you that implementation of this issue has been postponed for now. However, the fix of this problem may definitely come onto the product roadmap in the future. Unfortunately, we cannot currently promise a resolution date. We apologize for your inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

@siva.ultimategmail, @gbuser,

During developing the fix of WORDSNET-9959, we had added following methods to the Comment class:

You can add or remove a reply to/from a comment inside Word document and also remove all the replies from a specific comment using these methods.

To remove a reply from comment and then add a new reply to a comment in Word document, please use following C# or Java codes:

C# Code:

Document doc = new Document(fileName);
Comment comment = (Comment)doc.GetChild(NodeType.Comment, 0, true);

comment.RemoveReply(comment.Replies[1]);

comment.AddReply("John Doe", "JD", new DateTime(2017, 9, 25, 12, 15, 0), "New reply");

doc.Save(outFileName);

Java Code:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\Comments.docx");
Comment comment = (Comment)doc.getChild(NodeType.COMMENT, 0, true);

comment.removeReply(comment.getReplies().get(1));

comment.addReply("John Doe", "JD", new Date(2017, 9, 25, 12, 15, 0), "New reply");

doc.save("C:\\Temp\\outFileName.docx");
