Hi,
I have many word documents stored in a folder. Can I search through these documents for specific keywords? Does ASPOSE support such a feature? I use Aspose.Total for Java.
Can I extract only the text of the word documnet ignoring formatting and styling ?
Kindly help me out with this requirement.
Regards,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,

Thanks for your inquiry.

You can achieve your requirement by implementing IReplacingCallback interface. Please use the same approach shared at following documentation link to find the text.

You can save the Word document to Text file format or export the document Node to text using Node.toString method. Please check the following code example for your kind reference and let us know if you have any more queries.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "in.docx");
// Exports the content of document node into text format.
System.out.println(doc.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT));
doc.save(MyDir + "Out.txt", SaveFormat.TEXT);
