@Pusting Here you go. I created a simple addition program that is giving the same error using GemBox.Document; using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; namespace ConsoleApp4 { class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { int a = 42; int b = 119; int c = a + b; Console.WriteLine(c); var previousWriter = Console.Out; var textWriter = new StringWriter(); Console.SetOut(textWriter); Console.SetOut(previousWriter); ComponentInfo.SetLicense( "FREE-LIMITED-KEY" ); var document = DocumentModel.Load( "Document.docx" ); document.Content.End.LoadText(textWriter.ToString()); document.Save( "Document.docx" ); } } }

Ram Prasad can you please attach a test project that reproduces your issue so that I can take a look at it?

Hello Pusting, Thanks for your response to my query. I did try your solution. However, I am getting this error "Cannot read that as a zip file" at the Document.docx stage . I tried changing .docx to .doc which changes the error to "File extension '.doc' is not supported in .NET Standard." How can I fix that? var document = DocumentModel.Load("Document.docx") Thanks.

Pusting · Answer

Here is something you can use: var previousWriter = Console.Out; var textWriter = new StringWriter(); Console.SetOut(textWriter); Console.WriteLine( "First sample." ); Console.WriteLine( "Second sample." ); Console.WriteLine( "Third sample." ); // ... Console.SetOut(previousWriter); var document = DocumentModel.Load( "Document.docx" ); document.Content.End.LoadText(textWriter.ToString()); document.Save( "Document.docx" ); So basically, this will redirect the Console.WriteLine to that StringWriter , but if you want to have the output text in both Console and in some String variable for you to use it, then you'll need to use Console.SetOut with something like this mirror writer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57041820/2699178 Also, I'm using GemBox.Document to write into a DOCX file, for more info about that you can see: https://www.gemboxsoftware.com/document/examples/c-sharp-vb-net-create-write-word-file/302

Thank you all for taking time to clarify my doubt @ Ashutosh Gupta Section section = doc.AddSection(); //Document does not contain definition of AddSection Paragraph Para = section.AddParagraph(); // Application does not contain definition of AddParagraph Para.AppendText(data); // Paragraph does not contain definition of AppendText Doc.SaveToFile(Filepath); is giving me errors mentioned above. Please help me rectify those. T Thanks

Ashutosh Gupta · Answer

it is console.readline() to read data. var data = Console.ReadLine(); Section section = doc.AddSection(); Paragraph Para = section.AddParagraph(); Para.AppendText(data); Doc.SaveToFile(Filepath);
