Append document - list format issue

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,
I’m trying to append one document to another using this code :

Document document = new Document("E:\doc1.doc");
Document docToAppend = new Document("E:\doc2.doc");
document.appendDocument(docToAppend, ImportFormatMode.KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING);

The problem is that in the result document there are some differences in list style.
I’m attaching documents and screen with details.
I guess that problem is with some document (doc1.doc) settings because if I create brand new document it works fine.

Thanks in advance for help.

Hello
Thank you for additional information. It is expected behavior. If you try checking DefaultTabStops in your destination and source documents you will see the difference. Please try using the following code:

Document document = new Document("C:\\Temp\\doc1.doc");
// Check Default Tab Stop
System.out.println(document.getDefaultTabStop());
// Set Default Tab Stop
document.setDefaultTabStop(35.4);
Document docToAppend = new Document("C:\\Temp\\doc2.doc");
// Check Default Tab Stop
System.out.println(docToAppend.getDefaultTabStop());
document.appendDocument(docToAppend, ImportFormatMode.KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING);
document.save("C:\\Temp\\out.doc");

Or you can change DefaultTabStop manually in MS Word.
Best regards,
