Aspose Words and TextBox mangle with RTF

Our application uses aspose words to insert a bar code into a document.
We have an number of documents that completely fill the page. However when produced through aspose words it changes the size and crams the first half of the second page into the last part of the first page. It also screws the boarders up.
Any ideas?

Hi
Thanks for your inquiry. Could you please attach your document for testing (only you and Aspose staff can download it) and provide me code that will allow me to reproduce problem? I will try to reproduce your problem and provide you more information.
Best regards.

Hi Alexey
I have attached the source and output documents.
The main code that does the replacement is too large to paste here but essentially we are replacing the
[!SomeKey] blocks in the raw RTF string with information strings like names and addresses.
Below is the code that inserts the barcodes which i thought was responsible for the document re-arranging itself.
Thanks

private string ReplaceRTFBarCodeFields(string information, int customerID, int leadID, int matterID, int documentTypeID)
{
    Document wordDoc = Aquarium.Documents.DocumentConverter.GetAsposeDocumentFromRTF(information);
    barcodeDetails = new RTFBarcodeDetails(wordDoc, leadID, matterID, customerID, documentTypeID);
    wordDoc.Range.Replace(new Regex(@"\[!CustomerBarCode\]"), new ReplaceEvaluator(MyReplaceEvaluator), true);
    wordDoc.Range.Replace(new Regex(@"\[!LeadBarCode\]"), new ReplaceEvaluator(MyReplaceEvaluator), true);
    wordDoc.Range.Replace(new Regex(@"\[!MatterBarCode\]"), new ReplaceEvaluator(MyReplaceEvaluator), true);
    wordDoc.Range.Replace(new Regex(@"\[!DocumentBarCode\]"), new ReplaceEvaluator(MyReplaceEvaluator), true);
    wordDoc = barcodeDetails.Document;
    information = Aquarium.Documents.DocumentConverter.GetStringFromDocument(wordDoc, Aquarium.Documents.DocumentFormat.RTF);
    return information;
}
private ReplaceAction MyReplaceEvaluator(object sender, ReplaceEvaluatorArgs e)
{
    string barcodeImageURLFormat = [http://www.aquarium-software.com/BarCodeImage.ashx?ID={0}&type={1}](http://www.aquarium-software.com/BarCodeImage.ashx?ID=%7B0%7D&type=%7B1%7D);
    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(barcodeDetails.Document);
    builder.MoveTo(e.MatchNode);
    switch (e.Match.Value)
    {
        case @"[!CustomerBarCode]":
            builder.InsertImage(string.Format(barcodeImageURLFormat, barcodeDetails.CustomerID, 'C'));
            break;
        case @"[!LeadBarCode]":
            builder.InsertImage(string.Format(barcodeImageURLFormat, barcodeDetails.LeadID, 'L'));
            break;
        case @"[!MatterBarCode]":
            builder.InsertImage(string.Format(barcodeImageURLFormat, barcodeDetails.MatterID, 'M'));
            break;
        case @"[!DocumentBarCode]":
            builder.InsertImage(string.Format(barcodeImageURLFormat, barcodeDetails.DocumentTypeID, 'D'));
            break;
    }
    e.Replacement = string.Empty;
    barcodeDetails.Document = builder.Document;
    return ReplaceAction.Replace;
}

I have just remembered something else which might be useful. This only occurs since we upgraded from 4.4.1.0 to 4.4.3.
Thanks
