Introduction
Have you ever face the problem of merging so many word docs into a single one ?!!!
Heres the solution
Merge multiple word documents into a single document using .Net code.
Background
This asset is used to merge multiple word documents into a single document. If you need to merge the word document dynamically through code, this tool will help to complete this task in a very simple manner.
The code
Code:
//Word Document Merger
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;
//For office interop
using Microsoft.Office.Interop;
using Microsoft.Office.Core;
namespace WordDocMerger
{
public partial class frmMerger : Form
{
public frmMerger()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void btnMerge_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
//For application root directory
string rootDir = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.ToString();
//Soruce, Output document names
object docName1 = rootDir + "Doc1.doc";
object docName2 = rootDir + "Doc2.doc";
object docMerged = rootDir + "MergedDocument.Doc";
//Create a Word App
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass wordApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass();
wordApp.Visible = false;
//Interop params
object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
object save = true;
object notSave = false;
//For input file validations
if (!File.Exists(docName1.ToString()))
{
MessageBox.Show("Source Document1 does not exist !","Failed !", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
return;
}
if (!File.Exists(docName2.ToString()))
{
MessageBox.Show("Source Document2 does not exist !","Failed !", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
return;
}
if (File.Exists(docMerged.ToString()))
{
File.Delete(docMerged.ToString());
}
//Opening the document for processing
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document wordDoc2 = wordApp.Documents.Open(ref docName2, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document wordDoc1 = wordApp.Documents.Open(ref docName1, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
//Find the range to copy
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range range;// Range for the string in the document
//Get the range of the current active document
range = wordApp.Selection.Range;
//start range is 0; end range is any max value of type interger
range.SetRange(0, 999999999);
//Copy the entire entire document
range.Copy();
wordDoc1.Close(ref notSave, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
//Get the range of the 2nd document to pate
range = wordApp.Selection.Range;
range.SetRange(0, 0);
//Paste copied content into another document
range.PasteAndFormat(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdRecoveryType.wdFormatOriginalFormatting);
Clipboard.Clear();
//Save the Mergerd document into new file
wordDoc2.SaveAs(ref docMerged, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
//close the doc objects
wordDoc2.Close(ref notSave, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
wordApp.Quit(ref notSave, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
//Release the memory of COM components
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(wordApp);
MessageBox.Show("Document Merged Sucessfully !. Please Check 'MergerDocument.doc' file.", "Sucess !", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Failed !", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
}
}
}
}
