  • Save the result to a variety of file formats using 'Document.Save' method
  • Remove unwanted Word elements (paragraphs, pages, sections, chapters)

Change Word in C++

C++ Word programmatic editor provides developers with a modern API to edit Word programmatically. Quickly integrate Word modification features into your software. Our library supports the modification of a variety of document formats in C++.

The task of editing Word programmatically in C++ is the task of modifying elements in the Word document tree. It is also known as the 'DOM' - the programming model for interacting with Word document elements and their properties.

Edit Word in C++

Word modification features are inseparable from the advanced Word search functionality. For a hig level of flexibility, our C++ library provides developers with Word Regex-based search functionality. This approach expands the possibilities to edit text in Word files, allowing the use of templates for dynamic Word transformation.

Edit table in Word using C++

One of the most requested features is the dynamic creation and modification of tables in Word documents. Working with tables is very convenient with C++ library: edit tables, update tables and extract table text using C++.

The following example demostrates how to modify a Word document in C++:

Example in C++ to edit DOCX files
Upload a document you want to modify
Run code
dotnet add package Aspose.Words.Cpp
Copy
using namespace Aspose::Words;

auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"Input.docx");
auto builder = MakeObject<DocumentBuilder>(doc);

// Insert text at the beginning of the document.
builder->MoveToDocumentStart();
builder->Writeln(u"Morbi enim nunc faucibus a.");

doc->Save(u"Output.docx");
using namespace Aspose::Words;

auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"Input.docx");
auto builder = MakeObject<DocumentBuilder>(doc);

// Insert table at the beginning of the document.
builder->MoveToDocumentStart();
builder->StartTable();
builder->InsertCell();
builder->Write(u"Row 1, cell 1.");
builder->InsertCell();
builder->Write(u"Row 1, cell 2.");
builder->EndTable();

doc->Save(u"Output.docx");
using namespace Aspose::Words;

auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"Input.docx");
auto builder = MakeObject<DocumentBuilder>(doc);

// Insert image at the beginning of the document.
builder->MoveToDocumentStart();
builder->InsertImage(u"Image.png");

doc->Save(u"Output.docx");
Run code
