How to Remove Equations from .NET Core Word Document?

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 remove equations from a Word document using C#.

To achieve this, use the FindAllItemsByProperty API to find all equations in the Word document.

Steps to remove equations from 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 the Program.cs file:
   C#

using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;
using Syncfusion.DocIO; 

4. Use the following code example to remove equations from a Word document:
   C#

using (FileStream fileStreamPath = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"Data/Template.docx"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))
{
    // Loads the template document.
    using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument(fileStreamPath, FormatType.Docx))
    {
       // Find all Equations by EntityType in Word document.
        List<Entity> equations = document.FindAllItemsByProperty(EntityType.Math, null, null);
        // Remove the equation.
        for (int i = 0; i < equations.Count; i++)
        {
            WMath equation = equations[i] as WMath;
            equation.OwnerParagraph.ChildEntities.Remove(equation);
        }
        // Creates file stream.
        using (FileStream outputFileStream = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"Output/Result.docx"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
        {
            // Saves the Word document to file stream.
            document.Save(outputFileStream, FormatType.Docx);
        }
    }
}

You can download a complete working sample to remove equations from a Word document from the GitHub.

Take a moment to peruse the documentation where you can find basic Word document processing options along with features like mail merge, merge, split, and compare Word documents, find and replace text in the Word document, protect Word documents, and most importantly, the PDF and Image conversions with code examples.
