How to get a specific section from Microsoft Word using C#

Question

Need help in figuring out a way to fetch a particular block of content from Microsoft Word document using the section number in C# .NET.

For example if a word document which has sections as follows:

1. Introduction

2. Format

3. Description
   3.1 Details
   3.2 Tables
   3.3 Figures

4. Analysis

Now from section 3.2, I would like to get access to the table in the section.

Hope I was able to state the problem clearly, let me know if anything else is required.

If you are dealing with .docx files (Word 2007 and up), you can use OpenXML to search. The information you want can just be retrieved, or you can change/add to it.
