Word to Html, back to Word - preserve field values?

Aspose.Words Product Family

I have a need to edit a word document as html. So I can successfully convert to html and save back as doc. However, it doesn’t appear to maintain field to document property mappings.

We have properties of the word doc mapped to fields within the header and body of the word document that I would like to maintain when going from doc to html and back to doc.

Any ideas would be great

Please ZIP and attach your input Word document, Aspose.Words generated HTML and final Word document showing the undesired behavior here for testing. Please also provide a comparison screenshot highlighting the problematic areas here for our reference. We will then investigate the issue on our end and provide you more information.

Here you go. The screenshot is of the setting that will show Field Codes (instead of values). It is maintaining the values, but not the field mapping. For example, if I modify the document property on the “After” file - it will not reflect in the document.

Just checking to see if there anything else needed from me? I am eager to see if I can use Aspose.Words to handle document properties when converting from html (originally a word doc itself)
