Thanks for your inquiry and sorry for the delayed response.
While using the latest version of Aspose.Words for Java i.e. 10.7.0, I managed to reproduce this issue on my side. I have logged this issue in our bug tracking system. Your request has also been linked to the appropriate issue and you will be notified as soon as it is resolved. Sorry for inconvenience.
Moreover, as a temporary work around, please try opening test.doc using MS WORD and saving it as Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc) format . Then please try loading this new DOC file using Aspose.Words for further document processing tasks.
