Let’s dive in and make document editing and saving a breeze!

Prerequisites

Before we start, ensure you have the following:

1. GroupDocs.Editor for .NET - Download the latest version from here.
2. Development Environment - Visual Studio or any other .NET compatible IDE.
3. .NET Framework - Ensure you have .NET Framework 4.6.1 or higher installed.
4. Sample Document - A sample WordProcessing document to work with.
5. Basic C# Knowledge - Familiarity with C# programming is required.

Import Namespaces

To begin, make sure you import the necessary namespaces into your C# project. This is crucial for accessing GroupDocs.Editor functionality.

using System;
using GroupDocs.Editor.Metadata;

Let’s break down the process into manageable steps. Follow along carefully to ensure you understand each part.

Step 1: Get a Path to the Input File

First, you need to specify the path to your input WordProcessing file. This file will be loaded and edited.

string inputFilePath = "Your Sample Document";

Step 2: Create Load Options for the Document

Next, create load options specific to WordProcessing documents. These options will help customize how the document is loaded.

WordProcessingLoadOptions loadOptions = new WordProcessingLoadOptions();

Step 3: Load the Document with Options

Now, load the document into an Editor instance using the specified load options.

using (Editor editor = new Editor(inputFilePath, delegate { return loadOptions; }))

Step 4: Create Editing Options

Prepare editing options for the document. These options will determine how the document is opened for editing.

WordProcessingEditOptions editOptions = new WordProcessingEditOptions();

Step 5: Open Document for Editing

Open the document for editing by creating an EditableDocument instance. This instance will allow you to make changes to the document.

using (EditableDocument beforeEdit = editor.Edit(editOptions))

Step 6: Edit the Document Content

Now it’s time to edit the content of the document. First, get the document as a single base64-encoded string.

string allEmbeddedInsideString = beforeEdit.GetEmbeddedHtml();

For example, let’s modify the subtitle in the document.

string allEmbeddedInsideStringEdited = allEmbeddedInsideString.Replace("Subtitle", "Edited subtitle");

Step 7: Create New Editable Document from Edited Content

Create a new EditableDocument instance from the edited content and resources.

using (EditableDocument afterEdit = EditableDocument.FromMarkup(allEmbeddedInsideStringEdited, null))

Step 8: Save Document to Various Formats

Finally, iterate over all supportable WordProcessing formats and save the edited document in each format.

foreach (WordProcessingFormats oneFormat in WordProcessingFormats.All)
{
    // Prepare save options
    WordProcessingSaveOptions saveOptions = new WordProcessingSaveOptions(oneFormat);
    // Prepare save path
    string savePath = Path.Combine("OutputDirectory", "MultipleOutFormats." + saveOptions.OutputFormat.Extension);
    // Save the document
    editor.Save(afterEdit, savePath, saveOptions);
}

To conclude, you can print a message indicating that the process has successfully finished.

Console.WriteLine("SavingEditedDocumentToAllFormats routine has successfully finished");
