# Java Word Find and Replace Examples
This repository contains examples that illustrates how to find and replace text in Word documents programmatically in Java using [Syncfusion’s Java Word library](https://www.syncfusion.com/document-processing/word-framework/java/word-library?utm_source=github&utm_medium=listing&utm_campaign=github-docio-examples) (Essential® DocIO) without Microsoft Word or Office interop dependencies.
## Find and replace text in Word documents using Java
The Syncfusion® Java Word library (Essential® DocIO) provides comprehensive APIs to find and replace text in a Word document with any desired text, image, hyperlink, paragraph, table, and part of a document or an entire document. It provides options to find text by matching case and whole words. You can find each occurrence one by one or all the occurrences of a text in the document. It saves your efforts and time by helping you to automate find and replace a pattern of text in a Word document using Regex. It allows you to save the resultant document as Word document (DOCX, WordML), HTML, RTF.
## Jar files
You can download the jars from the Syncfusion® [maven repository](https://jars.syncfusion.com/?_ga=2.177721445.1332356717.1617771042-23317178.1569844681) to use our artifacts in your projects. It helps you to use the Syncfusion® Java packages without installing Essential Studio® or platform installation to development with Syncfusion® controls.

## Syncfusion® Java Word Library
The Syncfusion® DocIO is a [Java Word library](https://www.syncfusion.com/document-processing/word-framework/java/word-library?utm_source=github&utm_medium=listing&utm_campaign=github-docio-examples) allows you to add advanced Word document processing and does not require Microsoft Word application to be installed in the machine. It is a non-UI component that provides a full-fledged document instance model similar to the Microsoft Office COM libraries to iterate with the document elements explicitly and perform necessary manipulation.
Take a moment to peruse the [documentation](https://help.syncfusion.com/java-file-formats/word-library/getting-started?utm_source=github&utm_medium=listing&utm_campaign=github-docio-examples), where you can find basic Word document processing options along with the features like [mail merge](https://help.syncfusion.com/java-file-formats/word-library/working-with-mail-merge?utm_source=github&utm_medium=listing&utm_campaign=github-docio-examples), [merge](https://help.syncfusion.com/java-file-formats/word-library/working-with-word-document?utm_source=github&utm_medium=listing&utm_campaign=github-docio-examples#merging-word-documents), [find and replace](https://help.syncfusion.com/java-file-formats/word-library/working-with-find-and-replace?utm_source=github&utm_medium=listing&utm_campaign=github-docio-examples) text in the Word document, [protect](https://help.syncfusion.com/java-file-formats/word-library/working-with-security?utm_source=github&utm_medium=listing&utm_campaign=github-docio-examples) the Word documents and most importantly, [RTF](https://help.syncfusion.com/java-file-formats/word-library/rtf?utm_source=github&utm_medium=listing&utm_campaign=github-docio-examples), [Text](https://help.syncfusion.com/java-file-formats/word-library/text?utm_source=github&utm_medium=listing&utm_campaign=github-docio-examples), and [HTML](https://help.syncfusion.com/java-file-formats/word-library/html?utm_source=github&utm_medium=listing&utm_campaign=github-docio-examples) conversions with code examples.
