Access Bookmarks In Word Document

In this article, we will explore the C# source code above to understand how to use Access Bookmarks function in Aspose.Words for .NET library. This feature provides access to specific bookmarks in a Word document.

Prerequisites

• Basic knowledge of the C# language.
• .NET development environment with Aspose.Words library installed.

Step 1: Loading the document

Before we start accessing bookmarks, we need to load a Word document using Aspose.Words for .NET. This can be done by instantiating a Document object specifying the document file path:

string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";
Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "Bookmarks.docx");

Step 2: Access to bookmarks

Once the document is loaded, we can access the bookmarks in the document. There are two ways to access bookmarks: by index and by name.

• Access by index: In our example, we use index 0 to access the first bookmark of the document:

Bookmark bookmark1 = doc.Range.Bookmarks[0];

• Access by name: In our example, we use the name “MyBookmark3” to access a specific bookmark in the document:

Bookmark bookmark2 = doc.Range.Bookmarks["MyBookmark3"];
