Insert on database contents of word file using OpenXML and C#

[cms_9651Participant]

Hello, I need your help.

I want to read a .docx file line by line and insert chapters and paragraphs of the chapter in database table.

I have tried using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word to read the document, without success because Office may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.

Now I read on google that the suitable tool for this is OpenXML.

My file.docx is divided for chapters and paragraphs of the chapter

The structure of file.docx

Chapter 1 - Events
-alert or disservices
-significant activities

Chapter 2 – Safety
-near miss
-security checks

Chapter 3 – Training
-environment
-upkeep

I need insert on database table according with this schema

How to do resolve this?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion

Looking at your document and your code, I see two places that could be the source of your problem:

First: the xml layout for your SecondTemplate.docx containing Bookmark1 is like so:

<Paragraph>
<Bookmarkstart name=bookmark1/>
<Run>
<Text “Item 1”>
</Run>
</Paragraph>
<Paragraph>
<Run>
<Text “Item 2”>
</Run>
</Paragraph>
<Paragraph>
<Run>
<Text “Item 3”>
</Run>
</Paragraph>
<Paragraph>
<Run>
<Text “Item 4”>
</Run>
<Bookmarkend/>
</Paragraph>
and your code here:

if(bookmarkStart.Name == bookmarkKey)
{
foreach(Run run in bookmarkStart.Parent.Descendants<Run>())
{
returnVal += run.Descendants<Text>().FirstOrDefault().Text + “<br/>”;
}
}
when the bookmarkstart.Parent call runs, it matches on the Paragraph that is directly above the bookmark :

<Paragraph>
<Bookmarkstart name=bookmark1/>
<Run>
<Text “Item 1”>
</Run>
</Paragraph>
so when the rest of the loop executes, you only get the “Item 1” pulled into your merge process. You need to re-work your logic to correctly match the Text in the Run for all four paragraphs between the BookmarkStart and BookmarkEnd.

Second: Another issue that often trips people up in OpenXml is when you are trying to match the Run in the Descendants call here:

bookmarkStart.Parent.Descendants<Run>
If you are referring to the DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Drawing.Run , not the correct ‘DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Run’, this can prevent a match – so mouse over that Run in Visual Studio and ensure you are matching the correct Run. Adjust your using statements to get the correct one. A Using statement like

using Run = DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Run;
is often used depending on the rest of your code in that file. Hope these clues help you.
