The problem is caused by nested XE field in Part B – Remuneration p.14 which starts with a text “FaCS and NOHSC employees transferred …”. Removing this field eliminates the problem.

I have logged this to our defect base as issue #1181. We will check if we can support nesting of the ‘dead’ fields in the next reease and let you know.

Sorry for inconveniences caused by this problem.

Best regards,

Thanks Vladimir for the quick response.

I am just evaluating products that can convert MS Word files to HTML without requiring MS Word to be installed. If Aspose do decide to support nested XE fields let me know so I can re - evaluate your product with regards to our departments needs.

Regards,

Edward.

Yes, we are going to support nested XE fields. I just cannot say yet if it will be supported in the next release. I will post exact timeline here in a week or two.
