Avoid System.InvalidOperationException Infinite Loop Detected during Updating Page Layout of Word DOC (C# .NET)

[jlmorard]

When updating the layout of a document (method UpdateLayout), Aspose.Words throws an exception “Infinite loop”. I hoped that the problem was solved with the relase 21.4 because two bugs related to this issue were mentioned in the release notes (WORDSNET-21096 and WORDSNET-21604). Unfortunately this is not the case, at least when the original document is a .doc format (Word 97-2003).

A document causing such a issue can be downloaded here:

The same document previouly converted to a DOCX document works fine.

Thanks for any help!

The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-22195) have been fixed in this Aspose.Words for .NET 21.6 update and this Aspose.Words for Java 21.6 update.

Great! thanks very much to all the team for the patch and your responsiveness. We will test the new version (21.6) this week.
