-->This topic shows how to use the classes in the Open XML SDK 2.5 forOffice to replace the header in word processing documentprogrammatically.
Modify Headings in Word 2013 (Windows) Note: The instructions below are mainly based on Office 2013 for Windows. But, with very minor modifications, they can be used for Office 2016 for Mac and Office 2010 for Windows as well. Highlight the text and format using the Font tools in the ribbon. Features of the header such as the header position and page number. Once you are in the top (or bottom) margin, you can change the text formatting of the header (or footer) the same way that you would change formatting in the body of the document. Add text to the header or footer. If you'd like to add specific text, such as your name, to the header or footer, you can easily type it at the desired location. If you chose one of Word's pre-made header or footer templates, you can edit the placeholder text by clicking the text and typing over it. I need to edit the Headers on 37 documents and change the same phrase of text. I need a macro that finds a standard text phrase among the 37 word documents and replace it with a specific text phrase. I located a decent Macro that will edit the Body of the text but it won't change the header or footers (link below). Display the Page Setup dialog box. For example, you can double-click the vertical ruler. Or you can click the dialog launcher (the little arrow on the bottom righ) of the Page Setup group on the Page Layout tab. On the Layout tab, make sure that 'Vertical alignment' is set to 'Top.' Also, look a the margins specified on the Margins tab.
To use the sample code in this topic, you must install the Open XML SDK 2.5. Youmust explicitly reference the following assemblies in your project:
WindowsBase
DocumentFormat.OpenXml (installed by the Open XML SDK)
You must also use the following usingdirectives or Imports statements to compilethe code in this topic.
Structure of the Header Reference Element
In this example you are going to delete the header part from the targetfile and create another header part. You are also going to delete thereference to the existing header and create a reference to the newheader. Therefore it is useful to familarize yourself with headers andthe header reference element. The following information from theISO/IEC 29500specification introduces the header reference element.
headerReference (Header Reference)
This element specifies a single header which shall be associated withthe current section in the document. This header shall be referenced viathe id attribute, which specifies an explicit relationship to theappropriate Header part in the WordprocessingML package.
If the relationship type of the relationship specified by this elementis not https://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/header,is not present, or does not have a TargetMode attribute value ofInternal, then the document shall beconsidered non-conformant.
Within each section of a document there may be up to three differenttypes of headers:
First page header
Odd page header
Even page header

The header type specified by the current headerReference isspecified via the type attribute.

If any type of header is omitted for a given section, then the followingrules shall apply.
If no headerReference for the first page header is specified and the titlePg element is specified, then the first page header shall be inherited from the previous section or, if this is the first section in the document, a new blank header shall be created. If the titlePg element is not specified, then no first page header shall be shown, and the odd page header shall be used in its place.
If no headerReference for the even page header is specified and the evenAndOddHeaders element is specified, then the even page header shall be inherited from the previous section or, if this is the first section in the document, a new blank header shall be created. If the evenAndOddHeaders element is not specified, then no even page header shall be shown, and the odd page header shall be used in its place.
If no headerReference for the odd page header is specified then the even page header shall be inherited from the previous section or, if this is the first section in the document, a new blank header shall be created.
Example: Consider a three page document with different first, odd,and even page header defined as follows:
This document defines three headers, each of which has a relationshipfrom the document part with a unique relationship ID, as shown in thefollowing packaging markup:
These relationships are then referenced in the section's propertiesusing the following WordprocessingML:
The resulting section shall use the header part with relationship idrId3 for the first page, the header part withrelationship id rId2 for all subsequent evenpages, and the header part with relationship id rId5 for all subsequent odd pages. end example]

Sample Code
The following code example shows how to replace the header in a wordprocessing document with the header from another word processingdocument. To call the method, AddHeaderFromTo, you can use the following codesegment as an example.
Following is the complete sample code in both C# and Visual Basic.
