Re: Insert new header and footer into a document

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hi,

I am currently evaluating this product, would like to know whether it can do the followings:

1. insert a header and footer into a document without a header and footer
2. edit a header and footer content if the document contain header and footer
3. open a word document from a binary data and edit the content finally saved to a location

Reasons i asked all these is that i can’t find the method to create a new header and footer in the api.

hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Eric,

It is not yet possible to directly create header and footer, but we will add methods to do that to DocumentBuilder, hopefully in October.

You can open a Word document from a file or from a stream.

You can edit document content somewhat, using DocumentBuilder and MailMerge. You cannot edit document content freely like in MS Word VBA, but we are working on it to make more classes and methods available.

It is now possible to create and modify headers and footers in Aspose.Word 1.9. See DocumentBuilder.MoveToHeaderFooter, MoveToSection and also new PageSetup properties to specified different headers for first, even and odd pages.
