C# docx locating a word into Table

Question

I have a word document with a huge two columns table, the first column contains a code, and the second one contains a word. In many rows the word of the second column is repeated so I need to locate all rows with repeated words. I'm using findAll() method and getting the index for every occurence of the word but I can't get the table row from that index. Below is the code I'm using.

using (DocX doc = DocX.Load(path/to/file.docx)){
   Table table = doc.Tables[0];
   var ocurrences = doc.FindAll("text", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
}

Should you call FindAll on the table and not on the doc? – PepitoSh May 29 '18 at 04:29 — PepitoSh, May 29 '18 at 04:29
@PepitoSh the table entity has no findAll method – REDMAN May 29 '18 at 04:45 — REDMAN, May 29 '18 at 04:45

You can LinQ for getting repetitive rows as:

var repetitive = doc.Tables.GroupBy(s => s.Word).SelectMany(grp => grp.Skip(1));

Note :- here Word is the second column

Thank you for your help, but I can't find a way to programmatically select the desired column (s.Word is the second column on table), could yo help me? – REDMAN May 29 '18 at 04:44
If you need CODE of repetitive Words, then var repetitive = doc.Tables.GroupBy(s => s.Word).SelectMany(grp => grp.Skip(1)).Select(a=>a.Code); – iamdkrz May 29 '18 at 06:45
