ok Praveen,

Try this one

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application oWord;
oWord = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
oWord.Visible = false; //to avoid displaying the Word Application
object strDocName = @"d:\test.doc";
object objBool = false;
object objNull = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
Document oMyDoc = oWord.Documents.Open(ref strDocName, ref objBool, ref objBool, ref objBool, ref objNull,
ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull);

object objReference = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
object objFoot = "this is footer";

object objStart = 0;
object objEnd = oMyDoc.Words.Count;

if (oMyDoc.Sections.Count > 0)
{
oMyDoc.Sections[1].Headers[WdHeaderFooterIndex.wdHeaderFooterPrimary].Range.Text = "My Header";
oMyDoc.Sections[1].Footers[WdHeaderFooterIndex.wdHeaderFooterPrimary].Range.Text = "My Footer";
}

Hi Praveen,

i checked your code see this one i thing it is you did a small mistake

foreach (Field mymergefield in worddoc.Fields)
{
Range rngfieldcode = mymergefield.Code;
string fieldtext = rngfieldcode.Text;
string st = fieldtext.ToString();
int pfrom = st.IndexOf("fst") + "fst".Length;
int pto = st.IndexOf("lst")+"lst".Length;

No need to find out the lst .length. just keep it on.

int pTo = St.LastIndexOf("lst");
if (pto > 0)
{
string result = st.Substring(pfrom, pto - pfrom);
string fieldname = result.Trim();
string getheadername = fieldname;
richTextBox1.Text = getheadername.ToString();
MessageBox.Show("Done1");
}
}

Thanks,
Bharat peggem

Hi Praveen,

Try this one.

first of all, you must identify the doc header name through c# so, set the header name link type.
like: right click on header name click EditHyperlink and set the name like FstnameLst.

C# code

Object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
Object oTemplatePath = "D:\\file.doc";
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application wordApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
Document wordDoc = new Document();
wordDoc = wordApp.Documents.Add(ref oTemplatePath, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);
foreach (Field myMergeField in wordDoc.Fields)
{
Range rngFieldCode = myMergeField.Code;
String fieldText = rngFieldCode.Text;
String St = fieldText.ToString();
int pFrom = St.IndexOf("Fst") + "Fst".Length; //--Fst,Lst means identification of our link names in our .doc,
int pTo = St.LastIndexOf("Lst");
   if (pTo > 0)
   {
      String result = St.Substring(pFrom, pTo - pFrom);
      String fieldName = result.Trim();
      string GetHeaderName = fieldName;
   }
}

Thanks,
Bharath Peggem
