Why it is not possible to access the Word document contents page by page in .NET WebForms ?

The Word document is a flow document in which contents will not be preserved page by page; instead, the contents will be preserved sequentially, section by section. Each section may extend to various pages based on its contents, such as tables, text, images, etc. The Word viewer/editor renders the contents of the Word document page by page dynamically when opened for viewing or editing, and this page-wise rendered information will not be preserved at the document level as per the Word file format specification. However, Essential® DocIO is a non-UI component that provides a full-fledged document object model to manipulate the Word document contents.

Hence, it is not directly possible to access the Word document contents page by page; the same holds true for Essential® DocIO. As a workaround, you can split the contents of each page as a separate section in the Word document and access the contents by sections instead of pages.

Note:

A new version of Essential® Studio® for ASP.NET is available. Versions prior to the release of Essential® Studio® 2014, Volume 2 will now be referred to as classic versions. The new ASP.NET suite is powered by Essential® Studio® for JavaScript, providing client-side rendering of HTML5-JavaScript controls, offering better performance, and improved support for touch interactivity. The new version includes all the features of the old version, so migration is easy.

The Classic controls can be used in existing projects; however, if you are starting a new project, we recommend using the latest version of Essential® Studio® for ASP.NET. Although Syncfusion® will continue to support all Classic Versions, we are happy to assist you in migrating to the newest edition.

For current customers, you can check out our components from the License and Downloads page. If you are new to Syncfusion®, you can try our 30-day free trial to check out our other controls. If you have any queries or require clarifications, please let us know in the comments section below.
