Hi,

When I run UpdateFields() on a Word document which has few headings and paragraph with ‘PlaceHolderText style’, the document behave differently in following 2 cases:

Case 1: If I modify any heading or paragraph, the word document get corrupted after running UpdateFields().

Case 2: Whereas if i don’t modify the heading and let the default text as it is, the document works fine after running UpdateFields().

Code:
var doc = new Document(@“test.docx”);
doc.UpdateFields();
doc.Save(@“test.docx”);

I’ve attached the test documents and screenshots for your reference:
1.‘TestDefaultPlaceholderText.zip’ which works fine after UpdateField().
TestDefaultPlaceholderText.zip (91.4 KB)
2.‘TestEditedPlaceholderText.zip’ which gives corrupted docuement.
TestEditedPlaceHolderText.zip (92.0 KB)

Could you please take a look?

Thanks,
