Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,

When combining documents, I replace field NumPages with SectionPages. I do this with this example.
It’s working with MS Word, but it’s doesn’t work with OpenOffice. The field is merged with “XXX”.

Could someone help me, thanks.

(Sorry for the bad english… i am french

Hi

Thanks for your inquiry. It seems the problem occurs because OpenOffice Writer cannot update SECTIONPAGES fields and that is why XXX text is displayed instead of actual value.
I suppose you use SECTIONPAGES field to show number of pages in each sub document
in your merged document. Currently, using Aspose.Words, you can get number of pages in the document, so you can insert value of SECTIONPAGES field. For example, see the following code:

builder.InsertField(@"SECTIONPAGES", doc.PageCount.ToString());

Hope this helps.
Best regards.

Thank you for your reply.

I try to replace

builder.insertField("SECTIONPAGES \* MERGEFORMAT", "");

by

builder.insertField("SECTIONPAGES", pageCount);

It’s working, and with OpenOffice, “XXX” are replaced with the value of “pageCount”.

I using aspose with Java, and “doc.PageCount” property does not exist. Like other people I try get the number of pages with “doc.getBuiltInDocumentProperties().getPages()”, but it always return 1 like it’s say’s with this post) that “doc.PageCount” property is not available yet with aspose for Java. Have you more informations about the availibility of this feature ?

Thanks.
Sébastien.
