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 explictly update these properties using the appropriate Document member. We will add automatic update of these properties in a future version. |

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 application. We at Aspose.Words have never attempted or planned to replace the behavior of OLE creating applications. Exported as a plain image. |

All Word documents and most other formats that Aspose.Words export to only allow bookmarks with unqiue names, that is, no two bookmarks are allowed the exact same name.
If two bookmarks are given the same name in the model then no errors will occur. During export to any format the duplicate bookmarks are removed silently. The first bookmark visited in the model is the one that is retained, any other bookmarks are removed,

Fields are supported in the model. To check if these fields can be updated check the import section.
Even if a field can be updated, most fields are exported if they are up-to-date by MS Word. i.e if you import a doucment and export it with a field as it is then it will appear properly in the output format.
Fields with custom field codes (a field code modified to represent something different than a normal field) are retained as they are when converting to other Word document formats. These fields are lost when exporting to ODT.
When saving to rendered formats such as PDF, XPS or image some fields may be automatically updated as a part of page layout.

ActiveX is supported in OOXML, DOC, RTF and WordML documents. ActiveX Controls are preserved during round-trip to the same format.
When exporting to a different format from the original document the following rules apply:
· The "in-built" common ActiveX Word controls e.g checkbox, textbox, listbox etc are fully preserved even when exporting to a different format.
· ActiveX imported from document formats DOC, RTF, WordML should be properly retained during conversion to other formats.
· When loading ActiveX from OOXML documents e.g DOCX, there are two main types of ActiveX.
The first type is the legacy format which is found in the other formats such as DOC, RTF etc. This is freely converted to the other formats correctly.
The second type is a new format of ActiveX found in OOXML documents such as the DOCX format. This format is not diectly supported in the other formats so during conversion to those formats these types of ActiveX are converted to a plain image. When round-tripping back to an OOXML format these ActiveX are properly retained.
Implementing the conversion of this new ActiveX format to the legacy format is very hard and is not yet supported. It involves interaction with the ActiveX object and perhaps even the program that embeds it. This makes it very hard, if not impossible to peform the conversion. We will consider looking into this sometime in the future.

DrawingML is only preserved in round-trip back to DOCX format.
There are plans to export DrawingML as regular shape/image to other formats. At the moment DrawingML objects are lost when converting to other formats.
Support for DrawingML is improving with every new release.
