MS Word Template Mail Merge in Node.js using Aspose.Words RESTful API

I am getting this error
‘Mail merge region 'data' is badly formed. TableStart and TableEnd should be in the same section, same table row or same table cell.’

I am using your invoice template of mail merge example, its working fine but when i tried to recreate the template with same kinda data. It is giving the above error.

i have set templatewithregion as true, and the data is kinda similar which you’ll have provided

Thanks sir, solved the issue. It was cause of dividing the word document into sections/columns.
