Question

Hi a have a big problem I have to read docx but on the server is not office 2007 installed. I tryed to resolve... using Ionic.Zip; using (ZipFile zip = ZipFile.Read(C:\Documents and Settings\ + FileUpload1.FileName)) { MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(); //zip.Extract(@word/document.xml stream); zip.Extract(@content.xml stream); stream.Seek(0 SeekOrigin.Begin); XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument(); xmldoc.Load(stream); string PlainTextContent = xmldoc.DocumentElement.InnerText; } This works good but it gives me just plaint text.. and i need to know where is bold where starts new line.. so i have to know formatting. Does anybody have an idea? Thanx P.S. Sorry for my english.

Hi if you have relatively small files you can try this C# Word library to easily read DOCX files without dependency on Word application. Here is a sample code how to read a C# DOCX file: // Load a document. DocumentModel document = DocumentModel .Load( Document.docx  DocxLoadOptions .DocxDefault); // Iterate over all paragraphs in the document. foreach ( Paragraph paragraph in document.GetChildElements( true  ElementType .Paragraph)) { // Iterate over all runs in the paragraph and write their text to console. foreach ( Run run in paragraph.GetChildElements( true  ElementType .Run)) Console .Write(run.Text); Console .WriteLine(); }

So if you don't install Office in server I'm afraid it will can't realize.

I think it's not easy to realize In reality the word file also contains tableimage and so on you can consider them as object I think it must use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range dll to get the information about font property if you define a range object as below: Range range=... you can use range.Bold to get the font weight.
