Hi Support,

There is an option to convert document to MS 97 layout in Microsoft Office. i.e.File-.>Option->.Advanced->Layout-> and a drop down where you have to set the layout to Ms97.

I want to set same property using the Aspose.Words. Please guide me for the requirements.

Thanks.

Hi Tahir,

we have the license of Aspose Words for .net, so the new dll will support the old license or not.

MsWordVersion enumeration allows Aspose.Wods to mimic MS Word version-specific application behavior. Please check MsWordVersion.Word2007. See the attached image for detail.

It would be great if you please share following detail for investigation purposes.

  • Please attach your input Word document.
  • Please
    share the code which you used to generate
    your output document
  • Please attach the output Word file that shows the undesired behavior.
  • Please
    attach your target Word document showing the desired behavior. You can
    use Microsoft Word to create your target Word document. I will
    investigate as to how you are expecting your final document be generated
    like.

Hi Mohit,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please note that Aspose.Words mimics the same behaviour as MS Word does. If you convert your document e.g ProblemDocument_with_MSViewer2003.docx to Word 2003 file format using MS Word, you will get the same output.

Please convert the document to Word 2003 file format using MS Word 2013 and check the output in MS Word 2003 (in your case, MsViewer2003) and share your findings here for our reference.

Please also share the page number of output document which shows the incorrect output along with screenshot of problematic area.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to say what the problem is without the input/output Document(s) and simplified application. We need your Document(s) and simple project to reproduce the problem. As soon as you get these pieces of information to us we’ll start our investigation into your issue.
