Hi, I need your help.

I am trying to use the PowerTools to combine two DOCX files into 1 DOCX file.

Both files contain page number in footer section, like, “Page 1 of 10”, “Page 2 of 10″, ….,”Page 10 of 10”.

When i merged the two DOCX files, the result has 20 pages, which is correct.

But, in the result DOCX file, it has “Page 1 of 10”, “Page 2 of 10″, ….”Page 10 of 10”, “Page 11 of 10”, …., “Page 20 of 10”.

How do I keep the original pagination in the result files.

Thanks!

my code is like this

`namespace TestCombineWordDocuments
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(“Hello World!”);

string[] fileNames = new string[] { @”D:\TestWordDocuments\NOA_FELONY_1.docx”, @”D:\TestWordDocuments\NOA_FELONY_2.docx” };
string outputFilePath = @”D:\TestWordDocuments\Result” + Guid.NewGuid() + “.docx”;

MergeDocuments(fileNames, outputFilePath);
}

public static void MergeDocuments(string[] fileNames, string outputFilePath)
{
using (var outputFileStream = new FileStream(outputFilePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
{
var sources = new List<Source>();

foreach (string fileName in fileNames)
{
byte[] allBytes = File.ReadAllBytes(fileName);

var openXmlPowerToolsDocument = new OpenXmlPowerToolsDocument(allBytes);

var source = new Source(new WmlDocument(openXmlPowerToolsDocument), true);

sources.Add(source);
}

MergeXmlDocuments(outputFileStream, sources);
}

}

public static void MergeXmlDocuments(Stream outStream, List<Source> sources)
{
WmlDocument buildDocument = DocumentBuilder.BuildDocument(sources);
buildDocument.WriteByteArray(outStream);
}

}
}
