The Syncfusion .NET Word Library (DocIO) offers powerful APIs to programmatically split large Word documents into multiple smaller ones with ease. Achieve document segmentation in just a few lines of code, all without relying on Microsoft Word or interop dependencies.
This sample code shows how to split a Word document by sections using the Syncfusion .NET Word Library with just few lines of code in C#.
using Syncfusion.DocIO;
using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;
// Open the Word document stream.
using (FileStream inputStream = new FileStream(@"Template.docx", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))
{
// Load an existing Word document.
using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument(inputStream, FormatType.Docx))
{
// Iterate through each section in the document.
for (int i = 0; i < document.Sections.Count; i++)
{
// Create a new Word document for each section.
using (WordDocument newDocument = new WordDocument())
{
// Add the cloned section to the new document.
newDocument.Sections.Add(document.Sections[i].Clone());
// Save the section as a separate Word document.
using (FileStream outputStream = new FileStream(@"Section" + i + ".docx", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
{
newDocument.Save(outputStream, FormatType.Docx);
}
}
}
}
