I am converting some of my rtf files to word documents using your Aspose.Words component. I am running into an issue where bullets are converted into “0.” This will occur for normal bullets and numbered bullets Below is the code that I am running. I can send you some sample documents to test against if that helps.
Dim oDialog As New OpenFileDialog
Dim szFile As String
Dim oDoc As Aspose.Words.Document
Dim oLic As Aspose.Words.License
Dim szDocFile As String
Try
oLic = New Aspose.Words.License
oLic.SetLicense("C:\Installs\Aspose\Word\Aspose.Words.lic")
oDialog.Filter = "Rich Text Format (*.rtf)|*.rtf"
oDialog.ShowDialog()
szFile = oDialog.FileName
szDocFile = szFile.Substring(0, szFile.Length - 4) & ".doc"
'Open the template document
oDoc = New Aspose.Words.Document(szFile)
oDoc.Save(szDocFile, SaveFormat.Doc)
Catch ex As Exception
Finally
oDialog = Nothing
oDoc = Nothing
oLic = Nothing
End Try
You can attach them directly to your post, please find the Options tab. Zip documents if there are lots of them. The attachments are only visible to you and Aspose so no worries regarding privacy issues.
A couple more things that I noticed when converting rtf to word documents. I have attached another document that you can test against:
On some of the reports, where the bullets would be, there is white text with a black background. This will happen on the attached document.
The dropdown form fields disappear from the document. If you look at the second page of the attached rtf file, where it says Conclusion, you will see the dropdown form fields that disappear when saving as a word doc.
Hi
Thanks for your report. I have reproduced this bug. And I have logged this problem to our defect base as issue #3464. We will try to fix it in our next release. A notification will be posted here in this thread as soon as it will be done.
Best regards.
The bullets are there, but 2 other issues still exist:
The bullets end up with a white foreground and black background. It looks like the bullets are highlighted but they aren’t.
The dropdown form fields are still disappearing from document. If you look at the original rtf file that I attached, you will see some dropdown fields in the conclusion section. These don’t appear after it gets saved as a word document.

Hi, When will these issues be corrected? I noticed there have been 2 releases since these issues were reported, but these weren’t in the list of fixes.
