It is to inform you that the issue which you are facing is actually not a bug in Aspose.Words. So, we have closed this issue (WORDSNET-17954) as ‘Not a Bug’.

Your scenario is not supported by Aspose.Words. Certain DOCX list items cannot be represented using HTML lists and both Aspose.Words and MS Word save additional metadata to make backward conversion possible. Using HtmlSaveOptions.ExportListLabels = ExportListLabels.ByHtmlTags could help to get better results for some documents but would result in formatting loss in general case.

Hi Tahir,

Can you please elaborate the below explanation as how is it related to our issue.

Your scenario is not supported by Aspose.Words. Certain DOCX list items cannot be represented using HTML lists and both Aspose.Words and MS Word save additional metadata to make backward conversion possible.

Also in this thread we were also discussing about other issue that is logged under ticket WORDSNET-17892. Can you please provide an update on this.

@sgangadurai

You saved the DOCX to HTML using Aspose.Words and then opened the resulting HTML document in MS Word expecting that MS Word will correctly import back list items saved by Aspose.Words. This is not a supported scenario. Certain DOCX list items cannot be represented using HTML lists and both Aspose.Words and MS Word save additional metadata to make backward conversion possible. The problem is that metadata used by Aspose.Words and MS Words are incompatible and Aspose.Words cannot save list items in a HTML format that MS Words is able to correctly import back to list items. This feature is related to MSO attributes. We already logged this feature as WORDSNET-7050 in our issue tracking system.

Currently, this issue is pending for analysis and is in the queue. Once we complete the analysis of your issue, we will then be able to provide you an estimate.

Hi Team,

Can you please provide an update on the ticket WORDSNET-17892.

Unfortunately, there is no update available on this issue at the moment. As a workaround of this issue, please set the value of HtmlSaveOptions.ExportListLabels property as ExportListLabels.AsInlineText. Hope this helps you.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-17892) have been fixed in this Aspose.Words for .NET 21.8 update and this Aspose.Words for Java 21.8 update.
