Hi,
While testing the new version of Aspose.Words I have found that 8.0.0 has broken some functionality from version 7.0.0. Please see the attached Word document that contains a regular hyperlink and a merge field, wrapped in a hyperlink. In 7.0.0, the following mail merge produced the expected result (though note that both hyperlinks have lost their formatting, a bug which I have already raised with you).
Document doc = new Document("C:\Hyperlink.doc"));
doc.MailMerge.Execute(new string[]
{
"SomeText",
"SomeURL"
}, new object[]
{
"Here is the merged data",
"http://www.google.co.uk/"
});
doc.Save("C:\Out.doc");
Result:
Plain hyperlink: http://www.google.co.uk/
Merged field that is a hyperlink: [Here is the merged data](http://www.google.co.uk/)
Running the same merge with 8.0.0 produces this incorrect result.
Plain hyperlink: http://www.google.co.uk/
Merged field that is a hyperlink: [MERGEFIELD SomeText \* MERGEFORMAT «SomeText»](http://www.google.co.uk/)
I was disappointed that the hyperlink formatting bug was not fixed in 8.0.0, but really surprised that it broke existing functionality.
