Remarks

In this version of Aspose.Words, SubDocument nodes do not provide public methods and properties to create or modify a subdocument. In this version you are not able to instantiate SubDocument nodes or modify existing except deleting them.

SubDocument can only be a child of Paragraph.

Examples

Shows how to access a master document’s subdocument.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Master document.docx");

NodeCollection subDocuments = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.SubDocument, true);
// This node serves as a reference to an external document, and its contents cannot be accessed.
SubDocument subDocument = (SubDocument)subDocuments[0];

Assert.False(subDocument.IsComposite);
