I am generating word header/footer into a word document using the following code: The header/footer is being generated properly but is also duplicated as the first text in the document. I am looking for a way to programmitically not duplicate or to remove the duplicate text in the word document.

Response.ContentType = "application/msword"
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=mytest.doc")%>

Response.Write("" + "" + "<title>Dynamic Generated Document")

Response.Write("")

Response.Write(" @page" + "{size:8.5in 11.0in; mso-footer: f1; mso-header: h1; padding:24.0pt 24.0pt 24.0pt 24.0pt;" + " margin:0.75in 0.50in 0.75in 0.50in ; " + " mso-header-margin:.5in; " + " mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;}" + " div.Section1" + " {page:Section1;}" + "p.MsoFooter, li.MsoFooter, div.MsoFooter{margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; tab-stops:center 3.0in right 6.0in; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:'Arial';}")

Response.Write("{margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; tab-stops:center 3.0in right 6.0in; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:'Arial';}" + "-->" + "" + "")
Response.Write("

")

Response.Write("

")

Response.Write("MY HEADER" & "
")

Response.Write("

")
Response.Write("MY FOOTER" &
")

Response.Write("

")

Solution 1

I would suggest creating a document in Word that looks the way you want it to, saving it as a docx, then comparing the XML to see where yours is wrong.

Solution 3

If you change the extension from .docx to .zip, you will find the file is just a zip. When you open it, the xml is inside.

Thanks, I did see the xml and that was definitely worth a try. However when I copy the xml into the code file it creates the word document but does not create the header and footer. It is a very strange problem, the only code that seems to actually create a word header/footer is what I included in the original post. I have played with it a great deal by removing certain parts so I think I have it down to a minimum I just can't get it to create the header/footer and not duplicate the text from the header/footer in the body of the document.
