Copy Word DOM Structure As C# Object












0















How is it possible to copy a Microsoft Word DOM structure as a C# object?



Accessing Work DOM objects is slow, and if the structure is large enough, accessing individual elements becomes prohibitively slow. For example:



foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range item in myDocument.range.SpellingErrors)
{
string myString = item.Text;
}


might take too long of time. You don't own the DOM object and so you can't modify for other copy techniques.



Is there a way to copy this as a C# object and then be able to work with it outside of Word?

  • If accessing the COM object is slow, then copying it will be just as slow.

  • If it's not necessary to interact with the user look at working directly with the file, using the Open XML file format (OPen XML SDK, for example). That will be much faster

  • OpenXML can't be used since they are not formal items in the file. Some structures exist only in memory, such as the misspelling list. This may not be a VBA question per se, other than I can't get to the DOM except through VBA. It's slow because accessing the DOM requires going through several layers.

  • We use Aspose at work, but it isn't free. It is, however, pretty good.
