Hi,
we have the same issue too. And we very need the fix.
Hi Igor,
Thanks for your inquiry. Could you please attach your input Word document and PDF file showing the undesired behavior here for testing? We will investigate the issue on our end and provide you more information.
Best regards,
Hi Awais,
Thank you for your answer. I attached input data and results.
Non-breaking spaces gets converted to breaking spaces when I convert to PDF.
private static Document GenerateDoc(byte[] template, string xml)
{
var dataSet = new DataSet();
var xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.LoadXml(xml);
XmlReader xmlReader = new XmlNodeReader(xmlDoc);
dataSet.ReadXml(xmlReader);
Document doc;
using (Stream stream = new MemoryStream(template))
{
doc = new Document(stream);
doc.MailMerge.CleanupOptions = MailMergeCleanupOptions.RemoveUnusedRegions | MailMergeCleanupOptions.RemoveUnusedFields;
doc.MailMerge.ExecuteWithRegions(dataSet);
}
return doc;
}
…
public byte[] GenerateWord(byte[] template, string xml)
{
var doc = GenerateDoc(template, xml);
using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
{
doc.Save(ms, SaveFormat.Docx);
return ms.ToArray();
}
}

Hi Igor,
Thanks for your inquiry. When converting your “result.docx” to PDF using Aspose.Words, I can see star symbols in second and third columns are not rendering on single lines as can be seen in attached “msw-2013.pdf”. Please confirm, if this is the issue you’re talking about?
Best regards,
Hi Awais,
Thank you for your response. The bug is - non-breaking spaces between stars in pdf doesn’t work correctly. But works in doc.
Best regards,
Igor Shubin

Hi Theo,
Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately, this issue is not resolved yet. Our product team has completed the analysis of this issue and the root cause has been identified. Aspose.Words incorrectly breaks the lines because it currently ignores non-breaking spaces between the star symbols. Non-breaking spaces change the line breaking logic, but Aspose.Words currently does not handle them. There is no ETA available and the implementation of the fix of this issue has been postponed till a later date. We will inform you via this thread as soon as this issue is resolved. We apologize for your inconvenience.
Best regards,
Hello,
