Given this Aspose.words code:
Document doc = new Document("Infinite Loop - Repro.docx");
doc.updatePageLayout();
and this document: Infinite Loop - Repro.zip (30.0 KB)
Aspose.Words gets into an infinite loop on the call to updatePageLayout().
This also happens when calling any method that in turn calls updatePageLayout internally, which includes things like doc.toString(SaveOptions.createSaveOptions(SaveFormat.HTML)).
