I have some Word templates that have some merge fields (which work fine in the .DOC version of the file).
Some of these need to have content controls (e.g. RTF text boxes and date pickers) for people to enter text that varies from document to document. However, this requires the document to be a .DOCX version of Word. When I do that and try to run the code I have, then I get an error.
A little background to setup. I have a VB.NET DLL called from a web page code behind (.cs), and the VB DLL uses the ASPOSE DLL to do the mailmerge.
I have tried the Beta 4.4.3, but that is the same as the version I had before.
This is what I get:
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

The stack trace gives:

Is this expected currently - i.e. should I not be using content controls?
Thanks
