Getting Extra Revisions When Comparing Two Word Documents Which Contain TextBox With Some Changes

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,



We are using Aspose. Word compare API which compares two word documents and generate a difference document. The documents under comparison consists of just one text box which has some text. We just changes that text content from “Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle” to “Lawrence Ellison, CEO of Oracle”. When we compared these two documents using Aspose compare API, we got following revisions:

1. TextBox deleted
2. TextBox inserted
3. “Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle” deleted.
4. “Lawrence Ellison, CEO of Oracle” inserted.

But MS word generates just two revisions.

1. “Larry” deleted
2. “Lawrence” inserted.

The code used is given below

Document doc1=new Document(“textbox sample.docx”);
Document doc2=new Document(“textbox modified.docx”);
doc1.compare(doc2);
doc1.save(“Aspose Difference Document.docx”);

Could you please look into this issue and provide us some solution?

The sample documents are attached with this post.
Also sharing a comparison snapshot where left hand side document is Aspose generated and right hand side is MS Word generated.

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks
Manisha
