Bibliography field update issue in MS Word document

Aspose.Words Cloud Product Family
1

Actually, this code worked fine to update the TOC field, but it doesn’t seem to update the BIBLIOGRAPHY field which exists in my DOCX document.xml file as:

<w:p>
  <w:r>
    <w:fldChar w:fldCharType="begin" w:dirty="true"/>
   </w:r>
  <w:r>
    <w:instrText xml:space="preserve">BIBLIOGRAPHY</w:instrText>
  </w:r>
  <w:r>
    <w:fldChar w:fldCharType="end" w:dirty="true"/>
  </w:r>
</w:p>

How can I fix this?

Many thanks
Philip

We have investigated the issue and found that your file contains a reference to an external source. Our API can’t open external links; therefore, it can’t complete field updating.

Thanks for looking into this, however if you mean the URL in the Website source is an external reference then this is normal and it doesn’t need to be opened but just displayed in the bibliography. In any case I have removed it in the attached system_report_input2.docx and Aspose still doesn’t update the bibliography to produce the attached system_report_expected2.docx.

Any help you can provide to get this working would be great.
