Insert Content Controls Word add-in on search

I have some keywords already present in my Word document, which I want to be able to search and if found, insert Content Controls on that specific keyword. Something like - 

let searchResults = context.document.body.search("[[]*[]]", { matchWildCards: true });
context.load(searchResults, 'text');
let contentControl = searchResults.items[0].text.insertContentControl();

Is there any way to do this? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Solution

  • Yes. You can do that although your syntax isn't quite right. (It's the Range object that has the insertContentControl method, not text. See insertContentControl. This will wrap the keyword in a rich content control.
