Syncfusion® Essential® DocIO is a .NET Word library used to create, read, edit, and convert Word documents programmatically without Microsoft Word or interop dependencies. Using this library, you can retrieve list values for a specific heading in a Word document using C#.

Steps to retrieve list values for a specific heading in a Word document:

1. Create a new .NET Core console application project.
2. Install the Syncfusion.DocIO.Net.Core NuGet package as a reference to your project from NuGet.org.
   
   

3. Include the following namespaces in Program.cs file
   C#

using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;
using Syncfusion.DocIO;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System;
using System.IO; 

4. Use the following code example to retrieve list values for a specific heading in a Word document.
   C#

using (FileStream fileStreamPath = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"Data/Template.docx"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))
{
   //Open an existing Word document from the file stream.
   using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument(fileStreamPath, FormatType.Docx))
   {
       //Get the document text.
       document.GetText();
       //Find all paragraphs with the style 'Heading 3' in the Word document.
       List<Entity> headingParagraphs = document.FindAllItemsByProperty(EntityType.Paragraph, "StyleName", "Heading 3");
       if (headingParagraphs.Count == 0)
           Console.WriteLine("No paragraphs with the style 'Heading 3' found.");
       else
       {
           foreach (Entity paragraph in headingParagraphs)
           {
               //Get the string that represents the appearance of list value of the paragraph.
               if (paragraph is WParagraph)
                   Console.WriteLine((paragraph as WParagraph).ListString);
               else
                   Console.WriteLine("The entity is not a WParagraph.");
           }
       }
       //Pauses the console to display the output.
       Console.ReadLine();
   }
}
