Bullet character symbol is changed after re-saving DOCX using C#

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Open attached file First Name Last Name_table.docx and save it without any changes with another name via Document.save(). For some reasons bullet symbols at the lines like “List languages, include…” in saved file are different.

Hi Tahir,


The document does contain it if you open it in MS Word.

Hi Stanislav,

Yes, In MS word, it looks like bullet but it is character text. If you put cursor at text “List languages, include…” and press bullet list form top MS word menu. Please see the attachment. I have modified your document and also attached it to this post.

Tahir,


You are right, this is a character text, not a list. Actually, I used the word “bullet” just to describe what is the symbol I am talking about. This is why I called my post “Symbol change” not a “List format change”, for example.

But it does not really matter, Aspose.Words should not change one text to another one, this particular case affects the look of the document and will surprise its author if she/he will find that their writing was unintentionally changed.

Imagine this happened and user wants to get the initial look back, does it by hands, then if the document will be processed by Aspose one more time the look will be lost again and disappoint a user even more.

From the software perspective this is a sign of a bug: something that should not be changed is changed.

Thanks Tahir!


This issue looks a bit cosmetic, but for our product it is important to keep the text of the document we process as close to original as possbile.

By the way, I have not tested another symbols, but if this problem appears with currency and other tricky characters this is much more serious issue.
