Document.Content.get_XML(false) sometimes wrong

[David Thielen]

Hi;

I have a case of a document saved in WordML format - that I save first, and
when I call get_XML(), it returns different values for the table properties
than what the values are in the file.

The file is at http://www.windward.net/Sales Report.xml

Any work-around for this?

Hi David,

It seems that the contect in the table is some xml nodes.
e.g.
<wr:chart>
</wr:forEach>
<wr:forEach><wrut/>
....

Did I have any error with getting the file?
Also you may direct send me the mail via removing online from my email
address.

Yes the text in the file includes some xml - but that is as text, not as
actual xml nodes.

The problem is the cell width for the table, getXML() returns different
values than what is in the saved file.

thanks - dave

Hi

Thanks for your quickly reply!

Also does the problem persists with all the other documents with table?

Based on my test, the saved XML does be different from the document itself,
I think that is due to the XML property of the document.content is just a
portion of the document but not the complete one. So the table may vary.

If you wants to store the xml data with all the data, I suggestion save the
document as XML format directly and load the string.

Hello;

Please report this as a bug. getXML() is documented as returning the
document and with the wrong cell widths it is incorrect.

I am saving as a work-around but that means getXML() is not usable.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?RGF2aWQgVGhpZWxlbg==?=,

Please report this as a bug. getXML() is documented as returning the
document and with the wrong cell widths it is incorrect.

I think, before one can decide this is a bug, we would need to know if
the columns are set to allow autoFit. If they are, then there IS no set
column width, so the file can really hold anything it likes. The
displayed column width will be calculated on-the-fly, during page
layout if AutoFit is active.
