WordApplication Search & Replace Demo (VB.NET)

New in WordWriter v3.5, you can easily search Word documents by using powerful Regular Expression patterns and easily replace text. This sample demonstrates how to use the new Search & Replace functionality

Technical Overview

This sample uses the WordApplication class to open an existing document on the server and perform search and replace actions on it. First, view the stored document to determine which patterns to search for (search terms that work well are WordWriter, and template). Remember that Regular Expressions are case sensitive. So, to search for "WordWriter" "Wordwriter", use this pattern: Word[Ww]riter.
