Mail merge removes hyperlink styles

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

I am using Aspose.Words to perform a mail merge with a Word document. The source document has some fixed hyperlinks which appear in the standard style (i.e.: blue and underlined) but the document that is generated by the mail merge operation loses this formatting.

The hyperlinks are still there (i.e.: I can hover over them and see the link, and Ctrl+click to open them) but they are in plain black text and no longer stand out.

Is this a bug or by design, as it is highly annoying.

I have recreated the problem with the most basic of documents which I’ve attached. A really simple mail merge then removes the formatting.

Document doc = new Document("C:\Hyperlink.doc");
doc.MailMerge.Execute(new string[]
{
    "SomeText"
}, new object[]
{
    "Here is the merged data"
});
doc.Save("C:\Out.doc", SaveFormat.Doc);
