Support for INCLUDETEXT and XPATH expressions

Aspose.Words Product Family

Does Aspose Words support the use of INCLUDETEXT fields referencing and XML file and using XPATH expressions?

This is an example of declaration of the field we are trying to use:

<span style=“font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;
font-family:“Calibri”,“sans-serif”;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:
Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;
mso-bidi-font-family:“Times New Roman”;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;
mso-ansi-language:ES;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA”>{ INCLUDETEXT “http://server/data.xml”
\x /ROOT/ELEMENT *
MERGEFORMAT }

The objective with this field is to insert the text of the element referenced by the XPATH but when we try this with Aspose Words it inserts the text of the whole XML document. It’s like if it doesn’t understand the “\x” option for using XPATH expressions.

Hi Alberto,


Thanks for your inquiry. Please attach the following resources here for testing

  • Template Word document containing INCLUDETEXT field with XPATH expressions
  • Sample XML file
  • Aspose.Words generated output DOCX which shows the undesired behavior
  • Expected DOCX document which shows the correct output. You can create expected document using Microsoft Word.
  • Source code you’re using on your end

We will then investigate the issue on our end and provide you more information.

Best regards,
