The following tables provide implementation details about how Aspose.Words saves a document in the XPS format.
XPS is a fixed-layout document format designed to preserve document fidelity and provide device-independent document appearance. Any document loaded into Aspose.Words can be converted to XPS.
Aspose.Words generates the XPS file (including subsetting TrueType fonts) completely on its own, without using any Windows or external libriares.
Aspose.Words also provides save options to control generation is handled. The following is some examples of such options:
· Export bookmarks or heading styles to the document outline (navigation pane).
· Specify the page range only to export.
· Set how metafiles are rendered.
Both TrueType and OpenFont font formats are supported and can be subsetted during rendering to XPS.

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. Built-in properties are exported to XPS as Dublin Core tags where applicable. |

Floating content is generally supported well during rendering.
Currently floating shapes may not be properly positioned when anchor is nested in a cell, belongs to a wrapped line or belongs to a paragraph with first/hanging indents, or to a 2nd column on the page, and other advanced layouts. This may cause some content to overlap in the rendered output.
We are working to improve this with each release.

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,
Bookmarks are exported to XPS and can be made to appear the document outline by using the appropriate save option.

You may need to accept tracked changes before saving to different formats or else the deleted revisions will still show up in the output document.
Tracked changes are currently not exported to SWF in the way they appear in Microsoft Word. This functionality will be included in a future version of Aspose.Words. At the moment any tracked changes are exported to SWF as plain content and thefore may affect the apperance of the document. For this reason you may need to accept all revisions before rendering.
In a future version there will be an option to render the document in any level of "mark up" e.g Final with Markup, Final (without markup) etc.
For now rendering simple insertion, change or deletion revisions can be simulated by applying appropriate run formatting on these revisions before rendering.

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.

Floating |
Yes |
Floating content is exported well during rendering. Currently floating shapes may not be properly positioned when anchor is nested in a cell, belongs to a wrapped line or belongs to a paragraph with first/hanging indents, or to a 2nd column on the page, and other advanced layouts. This may cause some content to overlap in the rendered output. This is being worked on and improvements are included with each release. |
|
Wrap Type |
Yes |
Text wrapping around images and shapes is supported in all formats. The following wrap types are fully supported upon rendering: · Square · Top and Bottom · Behind Text · Infront of Text · Inline with Text The following wrap types are currently unsupported: · Tight · Through These wrap types are rare and most of the time do not have any visible difference when compared to Square wrapping. The only time you really see differences if text is wrapped around complex objects e.g a Star shaped AutoShape. These two wrap types will be supported in a future version. Currently they are exported as "Square" wrapping which produces very close output. |

Both sides is the only Wrap Sides option supported at the moment. Other types such as Left Only, Right Only, Largest Only are currently unsupported as are exported as "Both sides" wrapping. These wrap types will be supported in a future version. |
