I have generated the word document using Interop Word.Now I'm unable to remove the controls from the generated word document.

Please find my code below.

C#

Word.Application myWordApp = new Word.Application();
object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
object oTemplate = strWordDoc;            
Word.Document document = myWordApp.Documents.Add(ref oTemplate, ref missing, ref missing,  ref missing);

foreach (Word.ContentControl contentControl in document.ContentControls)
{
  contentControl.SetPlaceholderText(null, null,"Trial");              
}
myWordApp.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = Word.WdViewType.wdPrintView;
myWordApp.Visible = true;
object index = 1;
document.Windows.get_Item(ref index).View.Type = Word.WdViewType.wdPrintView;

I hardly find any method to delete the controls from the word template which has been edited progrmatically using the interop word.I tried finding the controls and replaced them with the desired text but not able to remove the content contros from it.
