Bullets in RTF export wrong when viewed in Wordpad

Aspose.Words Product Family

How do I get bullets to display correctly in Wordpad when viewing an RTF export? The level 1 and level 3 bullets display an incorrect square character.
I expect level 1 bullets should be a “disc” (filled in circle), level 2 should be a circle, and level 3 should be square.
Below is my code. Attached is the html that I’m passing into InsertHTML. This html includes a style sheet for the bullets, although I know Aspose.Words ignores it.
Thanks,
Chris

Dim doc As New Document
Dim builder As New DocumentBuilder(doc)
Dim reader As New StreamReader("c:\temp\BulletTest.htm")
Dim html As String = reader.ReadToEnd
builder.InsertHtml(html)
Dim st As New System.IO.MemoryStream
doc.Save(st, SaveFormat.Rtf)
SaveStreamToFile(st, "c:\temp\BulletTest.rtf")

Correction on the sample code…

Dim doc As New Document
Dim builder As New DocumentBuilder(doc)
Dim reader As New StreamReader("c:\temp\BulletTest.htm")
Dim html As String = reader.ReadToEnd
builder.InsertHtml(html)
doc.Save("c:\temp\BulletTest.rtf", SaveFormat.Rtf)

Hi
Thanks for your inquiry. I can’t reproduce your problem on my side. I used the following code for testing.

string html = File.ReadAllText(@"269_105516_webfoot\in.htm");
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.InsertHtml(html);
doc.Save(@"269_105516_webfoot\out.rtf", SaveFormat.Rtf);

See the attached document. I use Aspose.Words v4.4.2.0.
Best regards.

Alexey, I should have mentioned that the WordpadView.jpg that I attached is from viewing your out.rtf file on my computer.

Hi
Sorry, I missed that you use WordPad to view RTF. I managed to reproduce the problem. I have logged this problem to our defect database as issue # 4159. Please expect a reply before the next hotfix (within 2-3 weeks). We might just fix it by then or provide more information
Best regards.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-1473) have been fixed in this .NET update and this Java update.
