Font Difference using ImportFormatMode.KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING when tracked changed revision formatting is done

When formatting is done with track changes on, if the font is changed to size 12 the destination document will display it in size 10 font when using KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING. Other font sizes seem to work fine.

Document sourceDocument = new Document("source.docx");
Document destDocument = new Document();

NodeImporter importer = new NodeImporter(sourceDocument, destDocument, ImportFormatMode.KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING);
 
destDocument.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph().remove();
Iterable<Node> nc = sourceDocument.getFirstSection().getBody().getChildNodes();

for (Node node : nc) {
    Node dstNode = importer.importNode(node, true);
    destDocument.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(dstNode);
}

destDocument.save("dest.docx");

Thanks Alexey. As a workaround KEEP_DIFFERENT_STYLES seems to work fine. From what I understand both KEEP_DIFFERENT_STYLES and KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING should produce accurate representations of the source document.

In my case I don’t think I see any harm in switching to KEEP_DIFFERENT_STYLES. It’s going to just bring in the new styles only if it can’t find an identical one.

I guess I’m not aware of any downsides of going from KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING to KEEP_DIFFERENT_STYLES, are there any?

@faith113 There should not be any problems in switching from KEEP_SOURCE_FORMATTING to KEEP_DIFFERENT_STYLES.
