Adding a document to another- font styles being lost

[JC1]

Hi,

We’re using Aspose Words to build up a document from a number of template files, it all works except for the part where we want to allow the users to add a document at a specific location as designated by a merge field. When we do this, using the code below, the font styles in the extra document section of the finished document have reverted to Times New Roman, despite us using KeepSourceFormatting.

For the other aspects of the resulting document the font information is retained, just not in this instance. Only reason I can think of is because I’m putting the document into a document builder so I can search for the merge field. Not sure if I need to do this, but can’t find an equivalent of MoveToMergeField on the Document object.

Any ideas why the font info is lost?

(Aspose.Words.dll is version 6.5.0.0).

Thanks.

CODE:

// Fill in the extra document if there is one
Aspose.Words.DocumentBuilder db = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
bool bFoundExtraDoc = db.MoveToMergeField("EXTRADOC");

if (bFoundExtraDoc)
{
    db.Write("");

    if (extradocpath.Length> 0)
    {
        Document extradoc = new Document(extradocpath);
        for (int i = 0; i <extradoc.Sections.Count; i++)
        {
            Section section = (Section) db.Document.ImportNode(extradoc.Sections[i], true, ImportFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting);
            db.CurrentSection.AppendContent(section);
        }
    }
}
doc = db.Document;

Hi

Thanks for your inquiry. You can try using method provided in the following article to insert one document into another at the specific location:
https://docs.aspose.com/words/java/insert-and-append-documents/
Please attach your documents here for testing. I will check the issue and provide you more information.
Also, please try using the latest version of Aspose.Words (6.6.0). You can download it from here:

Thanks for the reply Andrey.

I’ve tried using the method you linked to, and with 6.6.0 and get the same issue.

Attached are the template files, we’re building a quote document so it basically does:

Add Aspose_Header.doc
for each QuoteSection in the Quote
Add Aspose_SectionHeader.doc
<<ExtraDoc>> replaced by contents of specified doc(Extra_Tape.doc for example) for each QuoteItem in the QuoteSection Add Aspose_Item.doc
next QuoteItem
Aspose_SectionFooter.doc
next QuoteSection

The result is seen in ResultingDoc.doc, you can see how the Extra documents have lost their font type.

Thanks again, appreciate your help with this.
