Hi Saravana,

Thanks for your inquiry. Can you please try running the following simple code with Aspose.Words 14.8.0 and see how t goes on your end? PFA sample out.doc.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + @"Global(21).doc");
doc.UpdateFields();
doc.Save(MyDir + @"out.doc");

What version of Microsoft Word are you getting this problem with? Secondly, you have attached a very big project in your last post, could you please attach a simplified runnable console application instead?

Saravana:
sorry, even i tried the given code still having the same Error.

Could you please attach your output document (.doc file) i.e. generated using Aspose.Words 14.8.0 on your end here for testing? It could well be a bug in Microsoft Word application. What version of Microsoft Word are you getting this problem with? Do you get the same problem when saving to PDF for example? Also, please confirm if the code mentioned in my previous post causes the same problem.

Best regards,

Hi Saravana,

Thanks for your inquiry.

Your document has 41 pages as reported by MS Word 2013 and OpenOffice Writer 4.0.1 (see attached screenshots and output Word document) and when you save this document to DOC format after calling UpdateFields method using Aspose.Words 14.11.0, the page numbering at the footer says ‘page 1 of 41’, ‘page 2 of 41’ and so on upto ‘page 41 of 41’. Can you please try running the following simple code with Aspose.Words 14.11.0 and see how t goes on your end?

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + @"24112014+01+Organisation+Wide+BCP_0_1.doc");
doc.UpdateFields();
doc.Save(MyDir + @"out-awnet-14.11.0.doc");

What version of Microsoft Word are you getting this problem with?

Best regards,

Hi Rajesh,

Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we’re unable to reproduce this issue on our end. We checked it with MS Word 2007 also. Please make sure that you’re not using Aspose.Words in evaluation mode (see limitations here). You must apply license to get correct output in this case.

Best regards,

Page Number is not getting updated while using document.UpdateFields()

PFA file, We have 19 pages, but it is showing the default 1 of 3 or 1 of 1 in First page of document when we open the document.

After scrolling down to other pages, The first number is getting updated automatically.

Please let us know any fix is available for this issue

Hi Rajesh,

Thanks for your inquiry. MS Word 2013 reports that there are 19 pages in “test+1+Commercial+Business+BCP_0_1.doc” document. Aspose.Words 15.6.0 also reports 19 pages (see Document.PageCount property). Aspose.Words also correctly rights the page number value in NUMPAGE field. Please see the following code. So, this seems to be a glitch in MS Word’s behavior:

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + @"test+1+Commercial+Business+BCP_0_1.doc");
doc.UpdateFields();
foreach(Field field in doc.Range.Fields)
    if (field.Type.Equals(FieldType.FieldNumPages))
        Console.WriteLine(field.Result);
doc.Save(MyDir + @"15.6.0.docx");

I hope, this helps.

Best regards,

For the sake of any correction, I have logged this problem in our issue tracking system as WORDSNET-12212. Our product team will further look into the details of this problem and we will keep you updated on the status of correction. We apologize for your inconvenience.

Hi Rajesh,

Regarding WORDSNET-12212, our product team has completed the work on your issue and has come to a conclusion that this issue and the undesired behaviour you’re observing is actually not a bug in Aspose.Words. So, we have closed this issue as ‘Not a Bug’.

This is a MS Word issue instead. The *.doc and *.docx formats do not contain values of layout fields (like PAGE and NUMPAGES) located in header/footer for each page. Usually, MS Word updates it automatically when opened document, but it does not in this case.

Best regards,
