Offset in formfield which spans multiple lines

When filling in a form field, if the value entered in to the form field spans two lines the first and subsequent lines have a different left-hand offset. See attached image.



The form field values are being updated with the following code snippet.



formFields[i].Result = Convert.ToString(value);



Is there a way to eliminate this “offset” issue?

Hi Doug,

Thanks for sharing the detail. Please note that Aspose.Words mimics the same behavior as MS Word does. If you insert the same contents in FormField using MS Word, you will get the same output. There is a space before FormField. Please remove this space and execute your application again to get the required output. We have attached the modified input document with this post for your kind reference.

Please let us know if you have any more queries.

I should have caught existence of the space. Thanks for point that out!
