I experienced a very strange problem. When I extract the text from a docx file I noticed that all spaces are missing.
String name = “test.docx”;
Document doc = new Document(name);
System.out.println(doc.getText());
When I open it with Microsoft Word it looks fine. If I load it with Aspose and save it as a new file and then open the new file with Microsoft Word the spaces are already gone.
String name = “test.docx”;
Document doc = new Document(name);
doc.save(“new " + name);
I inspected all Run instances and none of them contains any spaces.
I extracted then the xml from the docx file and it looks that the spaces are indeed present in separate runs.

I performed another test - opened the file in Microsoft Word, then saved it. The new version is good now for processing with Aspose - the spaces are there, in separate runs, which were not present before.
What might be causing this?
