We upgraded from a very old version of Aspose.Words to version 9.0.0 and I’ve noticed that if a merge field has a space in the name that it is no longer merging.
For example mergefield: <!–[if gte mso 10]>
/* Style Definitions */
table.MsoNormalTable
{mso-style-name:"Table Normal";
mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;
mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;
mso-style-noshow:yes;
mso-style-parent:"";
mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;
mso-para-margin:0in;
mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt;
mso-pagination:widow-orphan;
font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Times New Roman";
mso-ansi-language:#0400;
mso-fareast-language:#0400;
mso-bidi-language:#0400;}
<![endif]–><span style=“font-size: 12pt; font-family: “Times New Roman”;”>{MR_CloseDate - MonthName Year} is no longer populating. I tried using the old version on an old server and it worked, so I believe the issue is caused by upgrading to 9.0.0.
I stepped through the code and the FieldName being seen is <!–[if gte mso 10]>
/* Style Definitions */
table.MsoNormalTable
{mso-style-name:"Table Normal";
mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;
mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;
mso-style-noshow:yes;
mso-style-parent:"";
mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;
mso-para-margin:0in;
mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt;
mso-pagination:widow-orphan;
font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Times New Roman";
mso-ansi-language:#0400;
mso-fareast-language:#0400;
mso-bidi-language:#0400;}
<![endif]–><span style=“font-size: 12pt; font-family: “Times New Roman”;”>{MR_CloseDate.
<span style=“font-size: 12pt; font-family: “Times New Roman”;”>
Is this a known issue? If I upgrade to 9.3 and correct any breaking changes will it work?
