Description

Specifies how reporting merge blocks are handled when a document is saved. Reporting merge blocks can be saved in a document either through special document targets represented through DocumentTarget objects or through special subtextparts represented through SubTextPart objects. When a merge block is marked with document targets, the name of the starting marker begins with blockstart_ and the name of the ending marker begins with blockend_. When a merge block is marked through a subtextpart, its name begins with txmb_.

Syntax

Public Property ReportingMergeBlockFormat As ReportingMergeBlockFormat

Members

Value	Description

Examples

The following example preserves reporting merge blocks while loading or saving a template. The configured base settings are then used by the appropriate load or save operation.

loadSaveSettingsBase.ReportingMergeBlockFormat = ReportingMergeBlockFormat.SubTextParts;
if (loadSaveSettingsBase is LoadSettings loadSettings)
{
    textControl.Load("template.docx", StreamType.WordprocessingML, loadSettings);
}
else if (loadSaveSettingsBase is SaveSettings saveSettings)
{
    textControl.Save("configured-document.docx", StreamType.WordprocessingML, saveSettings);
}

loadSaveSettingsBase.ReportingMergeBlockFormat = ReportingMergeBlockFormat.SubTextParts
If TypeOf loadSaveSettingsBase Is LoadSettings Then
    textControl.Load("template.docx", StreamType.WordprocessingML, DirectCast(loadSaveSettingsBase, LoadSettings))
ElseIf TypeOf loadSaveSettingsBase Is SaveSettings Then
    textControl.Save("configured-document.docx", StreamType.WordprocessingML, DirectCast(loadSaveSettingsBase, SaveSettings))
End If
