Using Aspose.Net library for word and pdf

Issue 1:
I have an Word template which contains 4-5 paragraphs with font style “Times New Roman”. in this document a word “Hello” and I need to replace this Hello word with a new word “Hi” with new font style “Lucida Handwriting” and font size is 10 .
Note: I don’t want to change font style of whole document or paragraph. I just want to changes font style of the word “Hi”.

Please find the below code snippte:

Stream s = new MemoryStream(File, 0, File.Length, true, true);
Aspose.Words.Document conv = new Aspose.Words.Document(s);                        
                    
     conv.Range.Replace("Hello", "Hi", false, false); 
     conv.Save(convPdf, Aspose.Words.SaveFormat.doc);

Issue 2:

Thank you for contacting support.

For Aspose.PDF for .NET API, you may specify ReplacementFont property in TextEditOptions class. The specified font will be used (if accessible) in the case where specified TextState.Font can not display segment text.

segment.TextEditOptions = new TextEditOptions(TextEditOptions.NoCharacterAction.UseCustomReplacementFont)
{
    ReplacementFont = FontRepository.FindFont("Lucida Handwriting")
};

About Aspose.Words API, we will be sharing our findings with you soon.

Please read the following article.
Find and Replace

In your case, you need to implement IReplacingCallback interface as shown below. Hope this helps you.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "input.docx");

FindReplaceOptions options = new FindReplaceOptions();
options.ReplacingCallback = new ReplaceEvaluator();
doc.Range.Replace("Hello", "", options);

doc.Save(MyDir + "19.8.docx");

private class ReplaceEvaluator : IReplacingCallback
{
    ReplaceAction IReplacingCallback.Replacing(ReplacingArgs e)
    {
        DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder((Document)e.MatchNode.Document);
        builder.MoveTo(e.MatchNode);
        builder.Font.Name = "Arial";
        builder.Font.Size = 10.0;
        builder.Write("Hi");
        builder.Font.ClearFormatting();
        return ReplaceAction.Replace;
    }
}

Thanks Tahir .

I have tried to implement the solution shared by you but it not worked due to version differences.
I am using Aspose version 15.6.0.0, and
FindReplaceOptions class not available in this version because this version did not have namespace Aspose.Words.Replacing.
it will be good if you provide some help in Aspose vesion 15.6.0.0.
