Examples

Shows to insert a KEYWORDS field.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Add some keywords, also referred to as "tags" in File Explorer.
doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Keywords = "Keyword1, Keyword2";

// The KEYWORDS field displays the value of this property.
FieldKeywords field = (FieldKeywords)builder.InsertField(FieldType.FieldKeyword, true);
field.Update();

Assert.That(field.GetFieldCode(), Is.EqualTo(" KEYWORDS "));
Assert.That(field.Result, Is.EqualTo("Keyword1, Keyword2"));

// Setting a value for the field's Text property,
// and then updating the field will also overwrite the corresponding built-in property with the new value.
field.Text = "OverridingKeyword";
field.Update();

Assert.That(field.GetFieldCode(), Is.EqualTo(" KEYWORDS  OverridingKeyword"));
Assert.That(field.Result, Is.EqualTo("OverridingKeyword"));
Assert.That(doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Keywords, Is.EqualTo("OverridingKeyword"));

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Field.KEYWORDS.docx");
