Add Header and Footer to an existing empty word document with OpenXML SDK 2.0

Add Header and Footer to an existing empty word document with OpenXML SDK 2.0

To add a header and footer to an existing empty Word document using the OpenXML SDK 2.0 in C#, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a new WordprocessingDocument object using the OpenXML SDK.
  2. Add a MainDocumentPart to the WordprocessingDocument.
  3. Add a Body element to the MainDocumentPart.
  4. Add a SectionProperties element to the Body element.
  5. Add a HeaderReference and FooterReference element to the SectionProperties element, with appropriate reference Ids.
  6. Create a new HeaderPart and FooterPart for the header and footer, respectively.
  7. Add the header and footer to the WordprocessingDocument.
  8. Save the WordprocessingDocument.

Here is some sample code that demonstrates this approach:

using DocumentFormat.OpenXml; using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging; using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing; public static void AddHeaderAndFooterToEmptyDocument(string filePath, string headerText, string footerText) { using (WordprocessingDocument document = WordprocessingDocument.Create(filePath, WordprocessingDocumentType.Document)) { // Add a new main document part MainDocumentPart mainPart = document.AddMainDocumentPart(); mainPart.Document = new Document(new Body()); // Add a new section with header and footer references SectionProperties sectionProperties = new SectionProperties(new HeaderReference() { Type = HeaderFooterValues.Default, Id = "header" }, new FooterReference() { Type = HeaderFooterValues.Default, Id = "footer" }); mainPart.Document.Body.AppendChild(sectionProperties); // Create a new header and footer part HeaderPart headerPart = mainPart.AddNewPart<HeaderPart>("header"); FooterPart footerPart = mainPart.AddNewPart<FooterPart>("footer"); // Add the header and footer markup to the header and footer parts GenerateHeaderPartContent(headerPart, headerText); GenerateFooterPartContent(footerPart, footerText); // Save changes to the document mainPart.Document.Save(); } } private static void GenerateHeaderPartContent(HeaderPart headerPart, string headerText) { Header header = new Header(); Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(new Run(new Text(headerText))); header.AppendChild(paragraph); headerPart.Header = header; } private static void GenerateFooterPartContent(FooterPart footerPart, string footerText) { Footer footer = new Footer(); Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(new Run(new Text(footerText))); footer.AppendChild(paragraph); footerPart.Footer = footer; }

In this example, the AddHeaderAndFooterToEmptyDocument method creates a new WordprocessingDocument object and adds a MainDocumentPart to it. It then adds a Body element to the MainDocumentPart, along with a SectionProperties element that includes HeaderReference and FooterReference elements. The GenerateHeaderPartContent and GenerateFooterPartContent methods are used to create the header and footer markup and add them to the appropriate parts. Finally, the document is saved and closed.

You can call this method with the path to an existing empty Word document, along with the header and footer text that you want to add. Note that this code assumes that the document does not already have any content or markup, and that you have the necessary permissions to create and modify files in the specified directory.
