@australian.dev.nerds Could you please attach the problematic input document here for testing? Which version of Aspose.Words do you use?

Hello, this happens only when I run the app from within Visual Studio, if I compile and run the .exe no exception is thrown!

Using Visual Studio .net 2013 Pro, sample project is in vb.net 4.8 WinForms!

When loaded the project in Visual Studio .net 2019 Pro, no exception!

Seems you don’t like 2013 vshost :smiley:
Thanks.
