Document.Compare throws exception Unable to cast object of type 'Aspose.Words.Run' to type 'Aspose.Words.SpecialChar' using .NET

Hi,

we get an System.InvalidCastException when comparing two documents:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in Aspose.Words.dll

Additional information: Das Objekt des Typs "Aspose.Words.Run" kann nicht in Typ "Aspose.Words.SpecialChar" umgewandelt werden.

Example code

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var lic = new License();
            lic.SetLicense(@"S:\Aspose.Total.lic");

            var doc = new Document(@"S:\tmp\old.doc");
            doc.Compare(new Document(@"S:\tmp\new.doc"), "test", DateTime.UtcNow);
        }

Files are attached.

Kind regards,
Daniel
