C#: Searching a Text in Word an getting the range of the result

Question

Hi there,

I can find Text in word via:

Word.Range range = wordApp.ActiveDocument.Content;
Word.Find find = range.Find;
find.Text = "xxx";
find.ClearFormatting();
find.Execute(ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);

This tells me if the text ist found. But I need the range of the found text-piece. I really don't know how to get it. Would be nice if you could help me out.

Answer 1

The range object should be changed by executing find on it.

So, likely you'd use range.Start and range.End to get the character positions. Reference

Answer 2

Have you tried this:

 range.Find.Execute(
      ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, 
      ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
      ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);


 while (range.Find.Found) 
{ 
   //Get selected index.
   // Do as you please with range...
   //Positions:  range.Start... range.End
   //search again
   range.Find.Execute(
      ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, 
      ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
      ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
}
