MERGEFIELD number formatting

Aspose.Words Product Family

I have a similar problem with mailmerge formatting { MERGEFIELD AMOUNT \# $,#0.00;$,(#0.00);$0.00”}
This formatting is used for many templates more than 100. I am working on replacing the word application interop with aspose mailmerge and I do not want to change all the templates
Amount = 1980.09
expected value = $(1,980.09)
Current Result = $1,9(80.09)

Please provide me a solution that does not involve the template changes because I have more than 100 templates that have this custom formatting and for some it works and for some it doesn’t.

Please help me with a fix for this. Thanks in advance

@Ajisha Could you please attach your sample template and output document here for our reference (you can leave only one field in the template)? It looks like field code shared above has been damaged upon copying or was typed with mistakes. We will check the issue and provide you more information.

Hi

Will this solution still work in the version that I use (20.8.0)

@Ajisha No, we do not provide fixes for old versions of Aspose.Words. All fixes and improvements are included into the new versions of Aspose.Words. So in order to use the fix, it will be required to update Aspose.Words version.

So the fix you said will it just work if I use the version or do I need to do any changes or workaround in the templates or logic

@Ajisha Yes, the fix will be included into the next 24.4 version of Aspose.Words and in order to get this fix it will be required to update the 24.4 version.
