Hi @Balaharish29

Use “Replace Text in Document” activity under Word Application Scope.
It replaces the words with which you have.

Hi,

  1. Install UiPath.Word.Activities Package: Ensure that you have the UiPath.Word.Activities package installed in UiPath Studio. This package provides various activities specifically designed for working with Word documents.
  2. Use the Word Application Scope Activity: Wrap your Word-related activities within a Word Application Scope activity. This activity establishes a connection to the Word application and allows you to perform operations on Word documents.
  3. Use the Read Text Activity: Use the Read Text activity from the UiPath.Word.Activities package to read the contents of the fillable form. This activity will extract the text from the Word document, which you can then manipulate and fill in the required fields.
  4. Use the Write Text Activity: Utilize the Write Text activity to fill in the form fields. You can provide the text that needs to be entered into each form field as input to this activity.
  5. Use the Save Document Activity: Finally, use the Save Document activity to save the filled-in form. Specify the desired file path to save the modified Word document.

Hi @Balaharish29

  1. Use “Use application/Browser” activity and open the website.
  2. Extract all the text one by one using “Get Text” activity and store each in an separate variable.
  3. Use Word Application Scope and indicate the file.
  4. Use “Replace Text in Document” activity and specify each variable to the place where you want to write the extracted text.
  5. Use “Save Document As” activity to save the word file. Remove Replace Existing option so that it creates an new file.

Hope it helps!!
Regards,
