Replace text in a RUN

Question

Greetings everybody!

I am new in OpenXML. I am writing a program for translating a .docx document. I have a string list with the translated text for all the text nodes in the Runs. Can anybody tell me how to replace the values of these <w:t> elements using OpenXML?

Answer 1

I believe i figured this out by myself. First you have to remove the child element and then re-create it again. Please, correct me if i am wrong. 

Answer 2

What you are trying to do is not that easy. You should know that event words are sometimes splited into more than one w:t tag. So the algorithm for replacing words is much more complicated.

Try using Eric White's Text Replacer. It is not perfect but can do the trick for most cases.
