Take the 2-minute tour ×  I am using Word and OpenXml to provide
mail merge functionality in a C# ASP.NET web application:  1) A
document is uploaded with a number of pre-defined strings for
substitution.  2) Using the OpenXML SDK 2.0 I open the Word
document, get the mainDocumentPart as a string and perform the
substitution using Regex.  3) I then create a new document using
OpenXML, add a new mainDocumentPart and insert the string
resulting from the substitution into this mainDocumentPart.
However, all formatting/styles etc. are lost in the new
document.  I'm guessing I can copy and add the Style,
Definitions, Comment parts etc.. individually to mimic the
orginal document.  However is there a method using Open XML to
duplicate a document allowing me to perform the substitutions on
the new copy?   share|improve this question add comment  5
