Problem with runs

Aspose.Words Product Family
#1

Hi there,

I'm trying to use the document visitor object to parse a word document. Whenever I hit the Visitrun method I get unpredictable results. Sometimes it correctly returns the entire run of similarly formatted text. Other times, for example, I get one word, followed by a space and a word followed two words, etc.

Example:

run.Text = "The" (first run)
run.Text = " quick" (second run)

run.Text = " brown fox " (third run)

These runs are all one sentence and in the same font.

It seems to me this could be bug? It rather defeats the purpose of having 'Runs' if I still have to check the font properties of each run due to this behaviour.

Can you please shed some light on this problem? Thanks.

Thank you for your interest in Aspose.Words.

Runs can be really redundant in MS Word documents by design. This is usually because of keeping revision history and some other attributes that are not seen. The redundancy problem was already addressed and fixed in the current codebase. Update will be available in a few days and there will be the following method:
