... [START] blaaa blaa blaa T h i s (this is an empty line) {END] ... another line -------------------------------------- I have been trying to remove empty lines appearing between [START] and {END] within a word document. Code seems to work if I did not have a textbox at top of my document. It seems that the textbox is also cleared once such operation takes place.

            wordapp = new Word.Application();
            wordapp.Visible = false;
            doc = wordapp.Documents.Open(wordPath);
            paragraphs = doc.Paragraphs;
            bool flag = false;

            foreach (Word.Paragraph paragraph in paragraphs)
            {
                string s = paragraph.Range.Text;
                string y = paragraph.Range.Text.Trim();

                if (paragraph.Range.Text == "\\r")
                {
                    flag = true;
                    paragraph.Range.Select();
                    wordapp.Selection.Delete();
                    continue;

                }
                else if (paragraph.Range.Text == "\\r")
                {
                    flag = false;
                    paragraph.Range.Select();
                    wordapp.Selection.Delete();
                    continue;
                }
                else if (paragraph.Range.Text.Trim() == string.Empty )
                {
                    if (flag)
                    {
                        paragraph.Range.Select();
                        wordapp.Selection.Delete();
                    }
                    continue;
                }

            }

            // Save the document and close document 
            doc.Save();
            // Quit the word application 
            wordapp.Quit();

is there any other way to achieve what I do using Range in Word or dealing with a textbox in Word?

Tried config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.PerUserRoaming); crashed at Config.Save.

Problem occurs when I exit out of the application. static void Main() { Application.EnableVisualStyles(); Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); Application.Run(new Form1()); } Whatever has been written to my config file and saved to the file goes back to what it used to before. I have no idea why ? Do you guys have any idea? System.Configuration.Configuration config = null; config = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None); config.AppSettings.Settings.Add(strJob, strValue); config.Save();
