Changing layout of document

Aspose.Words Product Family
#1

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 Mohit,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please use CompatibilityOptions.OptimizeFor method to achieve your requirements. This method allows to optimize the document contents as well as default Aspose.Words behavior to a particular versions of MS Word. Hope this helps you. Please let us know if you have any more queries.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "in.docx");
doc.CompatibilityOptions.OptimizeFor(MsWordVersion.Word2007);
doc.Save(MyDir + "Out.docx");

Hi Mohit,

Thanks for your inquiry.

Please use the latest version of Aspose.Words for .NET 14.3.0. Please let us know if you face any issue while using Aspose.Words.

Hi Tahir,

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

Hi Mohit,

Thanks for your inquiry.

Every

of your license and upgrade to the newest version. To check an
expiration date of your license open the license file using notepad. You
will see the following tags:

It means that you can free upgrade to version of Aspose.Words published before 01/18/2014.

If
you need to update to the latest version of Aspose.Words, but your
license does not allow you to update to this version, you should contact
Aspose sales team to renew your license.

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.
