Hi Praveen, i checked your code see this one i thing it is you did a small mistake foreach (Field mymergefield in worddoc.Fields) { Range rngfieldcode = mymergefield.Code; string fieldtext = rngfieldcode.Text; string st = fieldtext.ToString(); int pfrom = st.IndexOf("fst") + "fst".Length; int pto = st.IndexOf("lst")+"lst".Length; No need to find out the lst .length. just keep it on. int pTo = St.LastIndexOf("lst"); if (pto > 0) { string result = st.Substring(pfrom, pto - pfrom); string fieldname = result.Trim(); string getheadername = fieldname; richTextBox1.Text = getheadername.ToString(); MessageBox.Show("Done1"); } } Thanks, Bharat peggem

Hi Praveen, Try this one. first of all, you must identify the doc header name through c# so, set the header name link type. like: right click on header name click EditHyperlink and set the name like FstnameLst. C# code Object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value; Object oTemplatePath = "D:\file.doc"; Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application wordApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application(); Document wordDoc = new Document(); wordDoc = wordApp.Documents.Add(ref oTemplatePath, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing); foreach (Field myMergeField in wordDoc.Fields) { Range rngFieldCode = myMergeField.Code; String fieldText = rngFieldCode.Text; String St = fieldText.ToString(); int pFrom = St.IndexOf("Fst") + "Fst".Length; //--Fst,Lst means identification of our link names in our .doc, int pTo = St.LastIndexOf("Lst"); if (pTo > 0) { String result = St.Substring(pFrom, pTo - pFrom); String fieldName = result.Trim(); string GetHeaderName = fieldName; } } Thanks, Bharath Peggem
