Hi,

Regarding 1., there is no way to do this. To do this, one would have to build a paginator – layout engine, which would exactly duplicate the internal algorithm of Word. This has not been written, nor is it on the schedule.

Regarding 2., I don’t understand the question.

Hi,
Thanks for the prompt response.

The 2nd Scenerio –
If we have a bold paragraph (5 lines), while reading the word documents the bold paragraph is breaking into many small string. Is there any way to read entire para in 1 string.

1st Scenerio –
If Page number is not possible, then at least section number or para number is possible or not.

Thanks,
neeleshp

Here’s an extension method I made for that :

public static int GetPageNumber(this OpenXmlElement elem, OpenXmlElement root)
{
int pageNbr = 1;
var tmpElem = elem;
while (tmpElem != root)
{
var sibling = tmpElem.PreviousSibling();
while (sibling != null)
{
pageNbr += sibling.Descendants<LastRenderedPageBreak>().Count();
sibling = sibling.PreviousSibling();
}
tmpElem = tmpElem.Parent;
}
return pageNbr;
}
