Cannot get stream with FileMode.Create, FileMode.CreateNew, FileMode.Truncate, FileMode.Append when access is FileAccess.Read.

using (WordprocessingDocument wordDoc = WordprocessingDocument.Open(path, false))
{
    string docText = null;
    using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(wordDoc.MainDocumentPart.GetStream()))
    {
        docText = sr.ReadToEnd();
    }

    //Regex regexText = new Regex("<var_Date>");
    docText = docText.Replace("<var_Date>", DateTime.Now.ToString("MMM dd,yyyy"));

    using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(wordDoc.MainDocumentPart.GetStream(FileMode.Create)))
        sw.Write(docText);
} 

Answer 1

Right here:

WordprocessingDocument.Open(path, false))

The second argument is isEditable , you passed false. So you've opened it as read-only.
