Hi Support Team,

We use mailmerge template with ASPOSE word to replace and generate document. We recently upgraded our package to version 21.4.0.0. After upgrading to the version, we are facing issue while generating table format. Empty columns and rows are getting printed. It works fine when we revert the build to older version. Kindly provide assistance to fix this issue. Refer the snapshot for the issue.

Please use the value of MailMerge.UseWholeParagraphAsRegion as true to get the desired output. The default value of this property is true.

var asposedoc = new Aspose.Words.Document(filestream);
asposedoc.MailMerge.CleanupOptions = MailMergeCleanupOptions.RemoveUnusedRegions | MailMergeCleanupOptions.RemoveUnusedFields;
asposedoc.MailMerge.UseWholeParagraphAsRegion = true;
                    
asposedoc.MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegions(xmlDS);
asposedoc.Save(MailmergeDocument + "21.4"+fromFileNames);
