Word Document Formatting (Start to End)

[jyoti.bora]

Hi,

Please suggest a suitable way to change a raw word document into a properly formatted document through UiPath.

e.g. we pass a document through an activity or run BOT on a particular word document, the UiPath output will be a formatted word document.

Formatting here is like change the font, color, design, tables, headers, footers, headings etc.

Hello,

For formatting a word document using UIpath automation, you can try recording a macro or inject VBA code.

Hi @jyoti.bora ,

We could use Open Xml Methods to Perform the formatting of a Word Document :

Do Check some of the Below Post related to Word Document Manipulation/Formatting :

Deleting spesific text in word document without losing the format of the document

I need to delete some text in the word document (circled in red below), it seems to be a table in the document. But I don’t want the bold words, line spacing and alignments to be gone. I need the final document to stay formatted as seen below. So, using datatable or string variable for deleting and then pasting the remaining text may change the format of the document, any ideas for doing the it without losing the word text format? Thank you. [image]

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion. Actually through Macro, I am only able to edit specific parts individually. But, I need to edit everything altogether e.g. If there are 10 headings (Heading 2) and I want to format those headings, then it’s not happening or may be I am doing something wrong. Please suggest some links related to this as I am new to Macro.
