  I need to insert text in the bookmark in a word document, im using below c# code, but t.Texts is coming as empty array always, so im getting index out of range error.

      var doc = new GcWordDocument();
          doc.Load(@"H:\aspose_templates\template.dotx");
          var bmks = doc.Body.Bookmarks;
          setBmkText("name", "Mr.");
  
          void setBmkText(string bmk, string value)
          {
              if (!bmks.Contains(bmk))
                  return;
              var t = bmks[bmk].GetRange();
              t.Texts[0].Value = value;
              for (int i = t.Texts.Count - 1; i > 0; --i)
                  t.Texts[i].Delete();
          }
  
          doc.Save(@"H:\aspose_templates\new\template.docx");

  Please find the .dotx file. In our template we have added bookmark in a empty place, but the template document which you shared, the bookmark is added for the text. For our scenario do you have any other approach to insert a value in the bookmark, if yes please share the sample code.

  And one more doubt, will the same code work for .dot template file?

  Hello Mithali,

  First of all apologies for the delay in response.

  Please find the .dotx file. In our template we have added bookmark in a empty place, but the template document which you shared, the bookmark is added for the text.
  
  We are discussing it with the developers and will get back to you with the updates soon.
  
  [Internal Tracking ID: DOC-6181]

  And one more doubt, will the same code work for .dot template file?
  
  Sorry, .dot file is not supported in the DsWord API. Please see this link for supported file formats:

  Hello Mithali,

  You can update the setBmkText method in the last attached sample as below to update the blank bookmark text:

  void setBmkText(string bmk, string value)
  {
  	if (!bmks.Contains(bmk))
          return;
  	var t = bmks[bmk].GetRange();
      t.Clear();
      t.Runs.Add(value);
  }

  It clears the existing text if any and replace the new text in its place.
  
  I hope it helps, if you need any other help, please feel free to ask.

  Regards,
  
  Prabhat Sharma.
