Thanks Awais for your response and sorry for confusion regarding problem 2 highlighted in “Screenshort2.jpg". Actually it is also part to the same document attached above. Please refer the last section of the corresponding document to replicate it.

Thanks for the additional information. We have logged the second issue as well. The ID of the issue highlighted in “Screenshort2.jpg” is WORDSNET-20445. We will further look into the details and keep you updated on the status of linked issues.
As I checked the status of issue, it is WORDSNET-20439 ---- Status : New WORDSNET-20445 ---- Status : Postponed
So, can I know why WORDSNET-20445 postponed?
Can you please also confirm your fixing plan on WORDSNET-20439?
Your issue (WORDSNET-20439) is currently pending for analysis and is in the queue. There are no estimates available at the moment.
I am afraid, the implementation of the fix of your other issue (WORDSNET-20445) has been postponed till a later date. Current comparison algorithm of Aspose.Words does not take Table and Row content into consideration. There are no estimates available at the moment.
We will inform you via this thread as soon as these issues will get resolved in future. We apologize for your inconvenience.
We have purchased the Aspose license and therefore we need your support to provide this bug fixing date for ticket WORDSNET-20439 and WORDSNET-20445 which was raised by our company’s staff in the forum.

We have to provide the solution to our client urgently and awaiting for your response on top priority.
We have checked these issues but I am afraid there are no further news about them i.e. the analysis of WORDSNET-20439 is pending while the implementation of WORDSNET-20445 is postponed. We will keep you posted here on any further updates and let you know when these issues will get resolved in future. We apologize for your inconvenience.
I am afraid, we can still not provide you reliable estimations for the linked issues. Please note that the comparison algorithm used by MS Word is proprietary and has never been published or made public. That is why doing comparison exactly the same way as MS Word does is a long-term task. Currently, we are going to make some rework and hopefully we will get results closer to what MS Word produces; but we cannot promise any ETA at the moment.
Rest assured; we will inform you via this thread as soon as these issues will get resolved in future. We apologize for your inconvenience.
