Import Namespaces

First things first, let’s import the necessary namespaces. This will allow us to use the classes and methods provided by the Aspose.Words for .NET library.

using Aspose.Words;
using Aspose.Words.Saving;

With these namespaces in place, you’re all set to start working with Aspose.Words.

Step 1: Set Up the Document Directory

Before we can manipulate any document, we need to specify where our documents are stored. This will be our working directory.

// The path to the documents directory.
string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";

Step 2: Load the Word Document

Now that we have our directory set up, we need to load the Word document that we want to split. This is done using the Document class from Aspose.Words.

// Load the Word document.
Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "Rendering.docx");

Step 3: Configure HTML Save Options

To split the document by sections, we need to set the appropriate save options. The HtmlSaveOptions class allows us to specify how we want to save the document to HTML.

// Configure HTML save options.
HtmlSaveOptions options = new HtmlSaveOptions
{
    DocumentSplitCriteria = DocumentSplitCriteria.SectionBreak
};

Step 4: Save the Document as HTML

With our save options configured, the final step is to save the document as an HTML file. This will split the document by sections based on the criteria we set.

// Save the document as HTML.
doc.Save(dataDir + "SplitDocument.BySectionsHtml.html", options);

And there you have it! You’ve successfully split a Word document by sections into HTML using Aspose.Words for .NET.
