ParagraphFormat.Style returns incorrect font values using C#

Hello! I found a bug when reading the font for first paragraph in last section. I open it and can see it is Comic Sans MS, but in code, it is read as Times New Roman, although Times New Roman is nowhere used in the document.
I attach a test project.

Regards!

Hi

Thanks for your inquiry. I closed the issue as “Not a Bug”. Actually, formatting of text in MS Word documents can be defined on few different levels:

1. Paragraph style defined for the particular paragraph;

2. Character style defined for the particular run;

3. Explicit formatting specified for a particular run.

For more information, please see the following link:

http://www.aspose.com/documentation/.net-components/aspose.words-for-.net/object-model-overview.html

So you cannot determine whether paragraph has for example bold text by checking just paragraph’s style. There can be a run with bold text.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need more assistance, I will be glad to help you.

Best regards,
