Creating TOC for text with non-BodyText OutlineLevel works unexpected

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

I am processing docx document over old processing (interop+word process) and with new logic over Aspose and I am facing with an issue over new logic.

Processed document contains TOC definition - TOC \o “1-3” \h \z \u that should harvest headlines and other content. Processing of headlines that are within headline styles is the same on both processing logic. But I realize that I have an issue with headlines that are not within styles - headline1-headline9 and that are defined with OutlineLevel that is not BodyText, (per istance Level1). With that content I have following issue :

In TOC content that originally has OutlineLevel that is not BodyText will take original formatting like font color, size, etc. Result is that I will in TOC have line with bigger font than others and in custom color.

I am simply doing :

document.UpdateFields();
document.UpdatePageLayout();

What is the problem. I tried to edit TOC (1-9) styles to control visual experience. Problem is that custom headline is not of TOC styles and I can not do anything with it.

Please suggest me how to tell Aspose to generate for me TOC on unify way. In addition, on old processing logic this works as expected. Also on Aspose logic, when I open generated document in Word and press UpdateTOC, problematic custom headline will be re-formatted and will be OK.

Thanks,
Rastko

Hi,

here is the simple code snippet.
There were attached 3 files.

  1. Initial document Template.docx that has defined TOC
  2. AsposeGenerated.docx document after generation with code snippet
  3. Document that I expect to have - ExpectedGeneration.docx (that is the version that I get with classic logic)
public static void UpdateTableOfContents(string documentName)
{
    Aspose.Words.Document document = new Aspose.Words.Document(documentName); 
    document.UpdateFields();
    document.UpdatePageLayout();
    document.Save(documentName);
}
