Formatting issue when opening a document

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

The document is protected with the Protect method with change tracking in the TrackChange mode.
After opening the document and removing protection, the document is edited and the formatting changes.
How can I perform this procedure myself (couldn’t find the suitable method; JoinRunsWithSameFormatting did not work either)?

In perspective, they get in the way when comparing documents using the Compare method.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, it is not possible to depersonalize the document to attach it as an example
But I’ll try to describe the situation:

  1. The document is structured in form of a table with two columns.
  2. At the bottom a one-column table is added with the signers details.
  3. Visually, no changes are made to the tables (2)
  4. The structure shows that the table changes its position in the global document table. It is performed as deletion and insertion of the same text in revisions, which hinder using the Compare method.
  5. In different documents, it the table can be moved to the higher-level row, to the previous row or paragraph.
  6. “Accept all revision” is not always possible, it seems to work only when the document is opened (in MS Word). And still affects the comparison.

Tahir, thank you.
We discovered that it’s сompatibility issue.

How can I transformate any docx document as MS Word 2016 or 2013 document?
SaveFormat method doesn’t work for our case.

@Ar_Tee,

Thanks for your inquiry. The CompatibilityOptions.OptimizeFor method allows to optimize the document contents as well as default Aspose.Words behavior to a particular versions of MS Word. Please use this method to prevent MS Word from displaying “Compatibility mode” ribbon upon document loading. Moreover, please set the OoxmlCompliance as Iso29500_2008_Strict to get the desired behavior.

Please use the following code example. Hope this helps you.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "in.docx");

OoxmlSaveOptions options = new OoxmlSaveOptions();
options.Compliance = OoxmlCompliance.Iso29500_2008_Strict;
doc.CompatibilityOptions.OptimizeFor(MsWordVersion.Word2016);  

doc.Save(MyDir + "output.docx", options);
