Remove Empty from word document using Open XMl in >net Core

Question

Removing the empty line from the word document the using Open Xml in .Net core

Answer 1

To delete the line you also have to delete the paragraph, this is due to the structure of word:

<w:p>
    <w:r>
        <w:t>ClientName</w:t>
    </w:r>
</w:p>

First there is the paragraph and inside there is the text, if there is no text it is a blank paragraph.

What you were doing was deleting the text, but you also had to remove the paragraph.

Try the following to see if it helps.

using (WordprocessingDocument wordDoc = WordprocessingDocument.Open("WordPath", true))
{
    foreach (Paragraph paragraph in wordDoc.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body.Descendants<Paragraph>())
    {
         Text text = paragraph.Descendants<Text>().FirstOrDefault();
         if (text != null)
         {
             if (text.Text.Equals("ClientName"))
             {
                 paragraph.Remove();
             }
         }
    }
}
