    <p>I'm trying to remove a footer from a Word document using C# 4. The footer looks like this:</p> <blockquote> <p>Page 1 April 18, 2012</p> </blockquote> <p>Actually, this the text for the footer when displayed in Word VBA:</p> <blockquote> <p>Page 1 ( April 18, 2012</p> </blockquote> <p>There's actually a bullet character between "Page 1" and "April". In the end the footer should look like this:</p> <blockquote> <p>April 18, 2012</p> </blockquote> <p>Anyway, in Word VBA, I'm able to do it using this code:</p> <pre><code>Dim rngFtr As Range Set rngFtr = ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range rngFtr.Collapse wdCollapseStart rngFtr.MoveStart wdParagraph, 1 rngFtr.MoveEnd wdWord, 4 rngFtr.Delete </code></pre> <p>I tried the same thing in C# but it removes the footer entirely. Here's my code in C# 4: using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;</p> <pre><code>Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application ap = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application(); Document doc = ap.Documents.Open(docFile.FullName, ReadOnly: false, Visible: false); doc.Activate(); Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range ftrRng = doc.Sections[1].Footers[WdHeaderFooterIndex.wdHeaderFooterPrimary].Range; ftrRng.Collapse(WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseEnd); ftrRng.MoveStart(WdUnits.wdParagraph, 1); ftrRng.MoveEnd(WdUnits.wdWord, 4); ftrRng.Delete(); ap.Documents.Close(SaveChanges: false, OriginalFormat: false, RouteDocument: false); ((_Application) ap).Quit(SaveChanges: false, OriginalFormat: false, RouteDocument: false); System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(ap); </code></pre> <p>I even tried other ways to get rid of "Page 1" &amp; the bullet, such as:</p> <pre><code>var replaceText = string.Empty; object mis = System.Type.Missing; var targetFooterText = doc.Sections[1].Footers[WdHeaderFooterIndex.wdHeaderFooterPrimary].Range.Text.ToString().Substring(1, 10); doc.Sections[1].Footers[WdHeaderFooterIndex.wdHeaderFooterPrimary].Range.Find.Execute( targetFooterText, ref mis, ref mis, ref mis, ref mis, ref mis, ref mis, ref mis, ref mis, replaceText, ref mis, ref mis, ref mis, ref mis, ref mis); </code></pre> <p>This doesn't do anything.</p> <p>Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. Thank you in advance.</p> <p>I'm not sure if this is important, but the bullet is a Unicode-2022.</p> <p>Here's a screen cap of the document footer. I just need to remove the text "Page 1" &amp; bullet and replace it with the date. The rest should remain as is.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/X2WC8.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
