Run.Text does not Insert Line Break for "\r" in Table Cell using .NET

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

We would upgrade our Aspose version from 20.1 to 20.12 but we see that in 20.7 newline in a Run object not more is working.
What is the new solution to make a newline?

Thanks,
Matthijs

To ensure a timely and accurate response, please attach the following resources here for testing:

  • Your input Word document.
  • Please attach the output Word file that shows the undesired behavior.
  • Please attach the expected output Word file that shows the desired behavior.
  • Please create a standalone console application ( source code without compilation errors ) that helps us to reproduce your problem on our end and attach it here for testing.

As soon as you get these pieces of information ready, we will start investigation into your issue and provide you more information. Thanks for your cooperation.

@tahir.manzoor

We see that it is not fixed in 21.1, but if we use Aspose.Words.ControlChar.LineBreak it works. We hope this is resolved in 21.2, but for now we can use Aspose.Words.ControlChar.LineBreak.

Regards,
Matthijs

@GazpromEnergy

After the initial investigation, we come to conclusion that it is not a bug in Aspose.Words. You can replace ‘\r’ with ControlChar.LineBreak to get the desired output.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-21525) have been fixed in this Aspose.Words for .NET 21.9 update.
