From Center Shading Style lost when converting DOC to DOCX to DOC

We are using “words-19.11-jdk17.jar”.

When converting DOC to DOCX and back to DOC, the ‘from center’ shading style of the last square shape on the last page of the ‘doc3-new.doc’ document isn’t properly preserved.

Using the following code for DOC2DOCX:
com.aspose.words.Document doc = new com.aspose.words.Document(inputPath);
doc.save(outputPath, com.aspose.words.SaveFormat.DOCX);

Using the following code for DOCX2DOC:
com.aspose.words.Document doc = new com.aspose.words.Document(inputPath);
doc.save(outputPath, com.aspose.words.SaveFormat.DOC);
