Hi Team,

The existing document fails to load. I get the below mentioned exception.

Document doc = new Document("D:\\fails.dot");
DocumentBuilder docBuilder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Thanks,
Kumar

Hi Tahir,

Thanks for raising the defect.
I want to know the scenario when this happens? Like what content in word document makes Aspose API to fail… this helps for any future such load failure…

Thanks,

Hi Kumar,

Thanks for your patience. Your document contains glossary with building block with start and end entries that resides in a different sections. Aspose.Words does not support such building blocks in DOC binary format templates at the moment. We will update you via this forum thread once this issue is resolved.

Hi Tahir,

>>> Your document contains glossary with building block with start and end entries that resides in a different sections.
How can I see the glossary with building block in the document? I’m not aware of this in MS word…

Thanks,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,

Thanks for your inquiry. You can check building blocks from “Insert Tab->Quick Parts->Building Block Organizer” in MS Word 2013. Please check the attached image for detail.

Hi Tahir,

Thanks for sharing the details. However, I see such building blocks in new word document as well. What is different in fails.dot that it fails to load with Aspose API?

Thanks,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,

Thanks for your inquiry. As shared earlier, your document contains glossary with building block with start and end entries that resides in a different sections. Aspose.Words does not support such building blocks in DOC binary format templates at the moment.

For example, the building block with name “1” resides in two sections in your document template. It starts in a header section and it ends in a body section.

We have attached screenshot with an image that explains how to see this in MS Word GUI. In addition, it can be checked with the following VBA code:

Sub PrintBbSectionsCount()
    Dim bB As buildingBlock
    Documents.Add Template:="fails.dot", NewTemplate:=False, DocumentType:=wdNewBlankDocument, Visible:=False
    Set bB = ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate.BuildingBlockTypes(wdTypeAutoText).Categories("General").BuildingBlocks("1")
    bB.Insert Documents(1).Range
    MsgBox Documents(1).Sections.Count
    Documents(1).Close(False)
End Sub

The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-12951) have been fixed in this .NET update and this Java update.
