Document Features Supported on FlatOPC Export

General

Feature Supported Comment See Also
Attached Template Yes    
Built-In Properties Yes Built-in properties such as word and character count are updated using Aspose.Words but are not updated automatically on save.

Instead, you need to explicitly update these properties using the appropriate Document member. We will add an automatic update of these properties in a future version.		 - Document.UpdateWordCount
Custom Properties Yes    
Custom Payload Part Yes    
Custom XML Data Storage Yes    
Digital Signature Planned Signing an OOXML document with a digital signature is not yet supported.

Note that an existing signature on a document cannot be retained as by nature the document has been changed during import.		  
Embedded Package Yes

Embedded packages are generally supported by Aspose.Words. There are two ways documents can be embedded inside other documents:

- OLE (this is available in DOC and OOXML formats)

- Package Embedding (available in OOXML only)

Aspose.Words supports these in the following ways:

If you have an OLE embedded or linked object it will be preserved during any conversion (e.g. DOC to DOCX or DOCX to DOC etc).

If you have a Package Embedded document, then it will only be preserved during DOCX to DOCX conversion.

There is no way to save a Package Embedded document from DOCX into a DOC file without converting it into an OLE embedded object. Implementing conversion of Package Embedded to OLE is tricky and it will take a while to implement.

OLE objects contain “native data” and are supposed to be created by the actual OLE creating an application. We at Aspose.Words have never attempted or planned to replace the behaviour of OLE creating applications.

  
Encryption Planned Currently, a document that is encrypted will lose its encryption on save.  
Font Table Yes    
Glossary Document/Quick Parts/Auto Text Yes

VBA Project Digital Signature Yes The digital signature on a VBA Project is preserved during open and save even if the document content is modified.
