  I want to find the simplefields that are in the footer for a document.body.section. Can I perform a getrange on the footer? How can I find the simplefields in the header and footer?

  When I want to find the simplefields in a section of a document the simplefields appear as a simplefields collection when I perform a getrange on the section. For example:

  DocSecRange1 = Doc1.Body.Sections(0).GetRange() For IndexField = 0 to DocSecRange1.SimpleFields.Count -1 Field1 = DocSecRange1.SimpleFields(IndexField)

  Hello,

  To perform GetRange for a section footer, you should use footers.Body.Paragraphs collection and then invoke the GetRange method. So, to be able to find the SimpleFields in section footer, you should follow this hierarchy: GcWordDocument → Body → Section → Footers → Body → Paragraphs → GetRange method → SimpleFields, as follows:

          For Each Section In Doc1.Body.Sections
              Dim Footers = Section.Footers(HeaderFooterType.Primary)
              For Each Para In Footers.Body.Paragraphs
                  Dim FooterParaRange = Para.GetRange()
                  For Each Field In FooterParaRange.SimpleFields
                      Dim FieldCode = Field.Code.Trim
                      Debug.WriteLine($"Old Code: {FieldCode}")
                  Next
              Next
          Next
  
  

  Also, attached is a sample application for your reference.
