如何使用Selenium WebDriver（C＃或Java）在Google文档中选择单个单词

Question

I'm currently testing content within google documents using selenium webdriver. Some of my tests involve selecting individual words within a google document then performing some action against them such as bold the word or change the font type for the specific word etc.

I would simply like to be able to select a word like this:

And here is the code returned from the Google document:

I have tried using send keys to send a ctrl+a command and this works for me but the problem is, I need to do a little house keeping prior to running my test by creating a document with one word inside it. Kind of defeats the purpose of automating this.

I have tried using substring to get specific words but then I can't perform any action on the String as it will not be a web element.

Would someone be so kind and point me in the right direction? Thanks very much for any help. It is much appreciated.

Selenium can only manipulate WebElement

In your example you won't be able to manipulate only "is" which is a text, not a HTML node.

The best you can do is selecting the <span> :

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//span[contains(text(),'This is a paragraph')]"));

and do whatever you want with it
