Append Word Documents & Preserve Left Indent Value of a Style C# .NET | Keep Different Styles

Hello,

with Aspose.Words 20.9 (and 20.10) the left-indent of a style was lost after AppendDocument with ImportFormatMode.KeepDifferentStyles.

Can you please have a look: IndenLeftLostAfterAppendDocument.zip (135.3 KB)

Thanks and best regards,
Marco

@MarcoFrank1,

Specifying ImportFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting solves the problem on our end. For more information, please refer to: Differences between ImportFormat Modes

C# Code:

Aspose.Words.Document newDoc = new Aspose.Words.Document();
newDoc.RemoveAllChildren();

ImportFormatOptions importOptions = new ImportFormatOptions() { IgnoreHeaderFooter = false, IgnoreTextBoxes = false, KeepSourceNumbering = true };
Aspose.Words.Document doc = new Aspose.Words.Document("C:\\temp\\IndenLeftLostAfterAppendDocument\\StyleToBeAppended.doc");
newDoc.AppendDocument(doc, ImportFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting, importOptions);

newDoc.Save("C:\\temp\\IndenLeftLostAfterAppendDocument\\20.10-KeepSourceFormatting.doc");

Thank you for your answer, But changing the option to ImportFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting is not a option for our project. This brings other problems, like I additionally mentioned in Append documents with KeepDifferentStyles uses ‘Normal’ style using C#.

With Aspose.Words 17.1 the style (inclusive left-ident) was kept. When using the option KeepDifferentStyles, the expectation is to keep the styles (inclusive left-indent).
