C++ Console Application to Get Comments from a Microsoft Word File

Update 2019-02-19:  Many thanks to Brian Thomas @ Kutana Software for helping getting this run. The C++ project is on Github at https://github.com/travelmarx/travelmarx-blog/tree/master/ExtractComments.

Update 2019-02-11:  Based on a comment received (see below), we reviewed this code and found a number of problems.

  1. That the presentation of the code below is bad having been escaped poorly when inserted.
  2. The code itself (when corrected for escape problems) when put into VS 2017 gave a number of syntax errors.
  3. The status of OPC has changed such that getting the C++ project to build in VS wasn't obvious. Our trouble was around getting the right System.IO.Packaging and WindowsBase references - we think. Some of the original SDK Samples for Windows 7 are in Github here.
What to do? First, here is the code on Github that was intended. This addressed problems 1 and 2. We made some slight changes to the code to remove syntax errors (using SysAllocString in several spots) as well as changing stdafx.h to pch.h. The name of the precompiled library isn't fixed, just that for C++ console apps in VS 2017, pch.h was used.

For problem 3, we are working on a possible solution (see update above). If you  are interested in running extracting comments using .NET (C# and VB), see How to: Retrieve comments from a word processing document (Open XML SDK).

Output from Comment Extraction

The goal of this post is to show how to construct a C++ console application that will extract comments from a Word document. This post builds on a previous post which showed extracting comments from a Microsoft Word document (2007 or greater). In the previous post, Getting Comments from a Microsoft Word File: Leveraging the OPC Format, we did the extraction by changing the extension of the Word document and accessing the files directly in the ZIP structure. In this post, we take the Word document as is and use a console application written in C++/COM and leveraging the OPC API to directly access the comments. The code shown here was run in Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7.

The key to the console application logic is to understand the document parts of the Word XML format. When we crack open the Word ZIP file we could get the comments file directly. Using the API we have to follow the pattern set out in the API. The pattern for a Word document is discussed here on MSDN and here. The main document part (../word/document.xml) is the main part in the package and that the comments part (../word/comments.xml) has a relationship to the main document part that can be used to obtain the coments. On our first try, we kept trying to get the comments part directly from the package relationships which didn't work. However, once we got the document part from the package (see the FindPartByRelationshipType method in the program below), we then could use the same logic to get the comments part from the document part.

A crucial part of the console application are the definitions of content types and relationship types of parts to parts. These definitions are defined in the header file (ExtractComments.h) for this application. For example, the content type of the comments part is:

application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.comments+xml

The relationship of the comments part to the document part:

http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/comments

Note: In this console application we did not deal with the fact that comments in a Word document can contain more than just text. In the previous post we did deal with hyperlinks as example of content besides text in comments. These improvements to this code would need to be added here. Specifically, if you look at the ECMA-376 part1 for the docx format, you can find the details of what a comment can contain and it includes charts, diagrams, hyperlinks, images, video, and embedded content.

The code shown here was build starting from the SDK samples provides with the OPC SDK Samples for Windows 7. In particular we started from the SetAuthor project inside of the AllOPCSamples.zip. We changed the SetAuthor program to suit our purpose here. The console application takes a file name as an argument. In Visual Studio, set the file name under the configuration properties of the project as shown below.

The code is shown below and as well as links for downloading it. Before getting to the code here is a sketch of the pseudo-logic of the code. We use the syntax of (x,y) -> z to mean x and y are used to return z. A bit simplistic, but helps clarify what is coming in and what is going out.

  1. Thanks for the sample code. I had to copy what was on screen as the download link doesn't work any more. I got loads of compilation errors. In particular, at line 337 there's code that looks like this (which makes no sense):

    for (int i = 0; i < item =" NULL;" hr =" commentsNodeList-">get_item(i, &item);
    SUCCEEDED(hr) ? 0 : throw hr;

    ::GetAttributesOfCommentNode(item);
    ::GetTextofCommentNode(item);
    }

    But I think it should look like this instead:

    for (int i = 0; i < nodeListLength; ++i)
    {
    IXMLDOMNode *item = NULL;
    hr = commentsNodeList -> get_item(i, &item);
    SUCCEEDED(hr) ? 0 : throw hr;

    ::GetAttributesOfCommentNode(item);
    ::GetTextofCommentNode(item);
    }

    What's happened is that when the correct code was pasted in everything between matching pairs of < and > characters was treated as html, and got removed. Does that sound likely?

  2. You are right, something messed up with code. I found the original and put it into Visual Studio and with a few changes have not syntax errors. Now just trying to work through build issue - we'll update this post soon.

  4. Is issue 3 still a problem? I got the original code to build and run in VS2017 - after I'd fixed the escaping issue - I can supply a source code zip if you like...

  5. VS2017 and Windows 10? I had problems building that stumped me; I missing something. You can send the zip to travelmarx at live dot com. Thanks!
