RecursiveAI.OneDocument.Documents 1.0.0

RecursiveAI.OneDocument.Documents

Read, write, calculate, template and render Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents (OOXML, legacy binary, RTF, ODF) in pure .NET. Not affiliated with Microsoft.

This package is the word-processing part of OneDocument (a preview, not yet published). It opens, edits and saves DOCX, DOCM, DOTX, DOTM and Flat OPC documents, and reads and writes RTF, ODT, HTML and Markdown through the same model:

• Lossless. Parts you did not edit are written back byte-identical (stored entries are copied, not recompressed). Edited parts keep unknown elements, attributes, prefixes, mc:AlternateContent and extLst in their original order.
• Lazy. Opening reads the package structure and the main part; every other part is read when you first use it. Nothing is recalculated or changed by opening.
• Safe. The format is found from the content, never the extension. Damage is reported as typed defects with locations, resource limits are on by default, and Save() replaces the file atomically.
• The model: paragraphs, runs, tables, sections, headers and footers, styles with inheritance, numbering, fields, footnotes and endnotes, comments, revisions and content controls, each also reachable as generated typed views over the markup.

using RecursiveAI.OneDocument.Documents;

using var doc = Document.Open("contract.docx");
doc.Paragraphs.First().SetText("Master services agreement");
doc.Save();                       // atomic replace; only word/document.xml changes
doc.SaveAs("contract.dotx");      // a copy, as a template
string text = doc.ExtractText();

The Office statics (Office.Open, Office.ExtractText) reach this package as soon as an application references it: no registration call is needed (the package adds a module initializer to your C# project at build time; set OneDocumentAutoRegister to false to opt out and call DocumentFormats.Register(registry) yourself). Word 97-2003 and Word 6/95 binary files (DOC) and the 2003 XML format are read and converted into the same model (Document.SourceFormat, Document.ImportLoss); writing DOC is not supported. A format this package does not handle raises FormatNotAvailableException naming the format.
