Cannot add a style because a style with the same name already exists

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,

i’m trying to merge two documents together.
this is my code:

foreach (byte[] d in data)
{
    using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(d))
    {
        Aspose.Words.Document doc = new Aspose.Words.Document(ms);
        if (result == null)
        {
            result = doc;
        }
        else
        {
            doc.FirstSection.PageSetup.SectionStart = SectionStart.NewPage;
            foreach (Section s in doc)
            {
                Section sec = (Section)result.ImportNode(s, true, ImportFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting);
                result.AppendChild(sec);
            }
        }
    }
}

data is an array of byte arrays.
Despite using ImportFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting i get the following exception:

System.ArgumentException: Cannot add a style because a style with the same name already exists.
at Aspose.Words.StyleCollection.?(Style ?)
at Aspose.Words.StyleCollection.?(? ?, Style ?)
at Aspose.Words.NodeImporter.?(? ?, ? ?)
at Aspose.Words.NodeImporter.ImportNode(Node srcNode, Boolean isImportChildren)
at Aspose.Words.NodeImporter.?(CompositeNode ?, CompositeNode ?, Boolean ?)
at Aspose.Words.NodeImporter.ImportNode(Node srcNode, Boolean isImportChildren)
at Aspose.Words.NodeImporter.?(CompositeNode ?, CompositeNode ?, Boolean ?)
at Aspose.Words.NodeImporter.ImportNode(Node srcNode, Boolean isImportChildren)
at Aspose.Words.Document.ImportNode(Node srcNode, Boolean isImportChildren, ImportFormatMode importFormatMode)

Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

The issues you have found earlier (filed as 3658) have been fixed in this update.

Issue #3658 - “Cannot add a style because a style with the same name already exists” exception occurs during inserting one document into another.

The problem occurs when destination document contains a user defined style with a name of a built in style.

Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately Aspose.Words for java v2.5.0 does not include fix for issue #3658. This release includes all changes and fixes we’ve made earlier on Aspose.Words for .NET versions 4.4.0 to 5.2.0.

But issue was fixed in Aspose.Words v5.2.1. So this fix will be included in the next Aspose.Words for java release. Sorry for inconvenience.
