I hava a question with the the api “Range.Replace(String, String, FindReplaceOptions) Method”.
I want to replace or delete the first section break of the word file and keep the format unchanged.

My source word file look like this:
sourcePreview.png (6.8 KB)

I use the Aspose.word(Version 16.7) to replace the first section break to paragram break, here is the code

public  static void ReplaceSectionBreak(string sFilePath)
{
    Document doc = new Document(sFilePath);
    doc.FirstSection.Range.Replace("&b", "&l", 
	new Aspose.Words.Replacing.FindReplaceOptions()
    );
    doc.Save(sFilePath);
    return;
}

But the fomat changed,it look like this

Here is my source word file:
sourcefile.docx (26.3 KB)

How can I solve my problem with aspose.word?

@gxhllj The problem occurs because you replace section break with manual line break. In this case paragraphs between section break are concatenated and formatting of one paragraph is applied (alignment and first line indent). To get the desired result you should use paragraph break &p instead of manual line break &l:

doc.Range.Replace("&b", "&p",  new Aspose.Words.Replacing.FindReplaceOptions());

Use paragraph break &p instead of manual line break &l will cause other problem .
You can try to use my demo and the test file

@gxhllj Thank you for additional information. As I can see you are using old 16.7 version of Aspose.Words. The problem is not reproducible with the latest 22.3 version of Aspose.Words.
