Tech Support,

I currently have an issue where when I bring my attached MS Word Document into an Aspose.Words.Document object and print it, one of the pages continues onto another page.

Example:
When opening the attachment (transid304.doc) in Microsoft Office Word 2007, the document will contain 8 pages. When printing from Microsoft Office Word 2007, the document will print 8 pages. When importing the attachment into the Aspose.Words.Document object and using the Print function, it will print to 9 pages extending the tables from page 6 into page 7.

Can you please reply with the code needed to collapse page 7 back into page 6 using the Document object, so that we may utilize the Document’s Print function.

Please let me know if you need anymore information reguarding this issue.

Thanks.
- Ryan

So from my own research, I have learned a little more about this issue. When printing out the two examples listed above and lining up the two examples pages that have checkboxes and holding them up to a light you can clearly see the checkbox’s are causing the expansion of the page. For some reason, Aspose checkbox’s are about 1 1/2 times larger than MS Word’s checkbox’s.

Here is the field code to create a checkbox in MS Word form MS Word perspective.

{ SYMBOL “168” \f wingdings \s 10.5 * MERGEFORMAT }

Here is the field code to create a checkbox in MS Word from Aspose perspective.

[!FieldStart!] SYMBOL "168 " \f wingdings \s 10.5 * MERGEFORMAT [!FieldEnd!]

It looks like it should be giving the same result, but it’s not. Is there something that I can include as an argument in the checkbox fieldcode that would adjust the box size to make it more similar to MS Word?

Let me know.

Thanks.

Ok, so we believe we have figured it out on this side. The issue is that when using a decimal (10.5) in the field code for wingdings it caused it to default to a value (12) in the Aspose Documents code. Even setting it to 10.0 still made it default to that value (12) in the fieldcode fail. When we modified the field code to 10 without a decimal from 10.5, it accepted the font size.

So question is, is there a way to set the 10.5 font size for wingdings with an additional parameter or will there need to be a fix in the code to handle a decimal datatype in your next patch?

Thanks.
