This section explains the steps to create a Word document editor within your application and demonstrates the basic usage of the Document Editor component.
The list of dependencies required to use the Document Editor component in your application is given below:
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-angular-documenteditor
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-angular-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-documenteditor
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-compression
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-data
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-file-utils
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-inputs
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-lists
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-navigations
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-chartsThe Document Editor component requires server-side interactions for the following operations:
Note: If you don’t require the above functionalities then you can deploy as pure client-side component without any server-side interactions.
To know about server-side dependencies, please refer this page.
Angular sample use following commands.git clone https://github.com/angular/quickstart.git quickstart
cd quickstart
npm installFor more information, refer to Angular sample setup
Syncfusion packages are distributed in npm as @syncfusion scoped packages. You can get all the Angular Syncfusion package from npm link.
Currently, Syncfusion provides two types of package structures for Angular components,
Syncfusion Angular packages(>=20.2.36) has been moved to the Ivy distribution to support the Angular Ivy rendering engine and the package are compatible with Angular version 12 and above. To download the package use the below command.
Add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-documenteditor package to the application.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-documenteditor --saveFor Angular version below 12, you can use the legacy (ngcc) package of the Syncfusion Angular components. To download the ngcc package use the below.
Add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-documenteditor@ngcc package to the application.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-documenteditor@ngcc --saveTo mention the ngcc package in the package.json file, add the suffix -ngcc with the package version as below.
@syncfusion/ej2-angular-documenteditor:"20.2.38-ngcc"Note: If the ngcc tag is not specified while installing the package, the Ivy Library Package will be installed and this package will throw a warning.
Syncfusion DocumentEditor packages need to be mapped in systemjs.config.js configuration file.
Syncfusion ej2-angular-documenteditor packages have to be mapped in the systemjs.config.js configuration file.

})(this);To render the Documenteditor component, need to import document editor and its dependent component’s styles.
This can be referenced in your [src/styles/styles.css] using the following code.
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-lists/styles/material.css';
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css';
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns/styles/material.css';
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-angular-documenteditor/styles/material.css';To know about individual component CSS, please refer to Individual Component theme files section.
In case, if you want to make use of the combined CSS files of entire components, then you can avail it from the root folder of Essential JS 2 package and reference it with the code shown below.
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2/material.css';You can add DocumentEditorContainer Component with predefined toolbar and properties pane options or DocumentEditor component with customize options.
Note: Starting from v19.3.0.x, we have optimized the accuracy of text size measurements such as to match Microsoft Word pagination for most Word documents. This improvement is included as default behavior along with an optional API to disable it and retain the document pagination behavior of older versions.
DocumentEditor Component is used to create , view and edit word documents. In this , you can customize the UI options based on your requirements to modify the document.
Import Document Editor module into Angular application(app.module.ts) from the package @syncfusion/ej2-angular-documenteditor [src/app/app.module.ts].
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

imports: [BrowserModule, DocumentEditorModule],
declarations: [AppComponent],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }Modify the template in [src/app/app.component.ts] file to render the Document Editor component.
Add the Angular Document Editor by using <ejs-documenteditor> selector in template section of the app.component.ts file.
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-container',
// specifies the template string for the DocumentEditor component
