I’m using Aspose.Words for .NET to update .doc and .docx document properties. A 3rd party tool is used to read document properties in Word documents. The document properties in a .DOC file (Author, Subject, Title) are read successfully by this 3rd party product prior to using Aspose to insert text in the Keywords or other properties. After updating the property and saving the document with Aspose, the 3rd party product can no longer read the any of the properties including properties that were not touched by Aspose. The properties are still visible in the Word document, but the 3rd party product cannot see them. The issue is with .DOC files and not with .DOCX files.
