Aspose.Words for Reporting Services 2.2.0.0 Released

Posted on April 28, 2008 by DmitryV

Please welcome another release of our popular product – Aspose.Words for Reporting Services 2.2.0.0. We’ve decided to skip a bunch of maintenance releases such as 2.1.X.X mainly because of a couple of new export formats implemented –

Hypertext markup language (HTML)
Plain text (TXT)

We could have added these formats much earlier (since the product is built on the top of Aspose.Words which supports both), but we were not quite sure the users really needed them. But we’ve recently figured out they did! … Continue Reading

Cell.Style property vs Cell.GetStyle/SetStyle method

Posted on April 10, 2008 by Laurence

Since v4.4.2, we add two new methods to format a cell: Cell.GetStyle method and Cell.SetStyle method.

So now you can use the following two ways to format a cell:

1. use Cell.Style property

[C#]

cell.Style.Font.IsBold = true;

[VB.NET]

cell.Style.Font.IsBold = True

2. use Cell.GetStyle and Cell.SetStyle method

[C#]

Style style = cell.GetStyle();
style.Font.IsBold = true;
cell.SetStyle(style);

[VB.NET]

Dim style as Style = cell.GetStyle()
style.Font.IsBold = True
cell.SetStyle(style)

You can see that the first approach is easy and straight-forward. So why … Continue Reading

OOXML: Don’t Repeat Yourself 30 Times!

Posted on April 5, 2008 by Romank

It struck me from the first day I saw the OOXML specification how “strange” it is. You know borders in MS Word. I mean those text, paragraph and table borders. Complete specfication for a border takes 6 pages in OOXML. I’d say it is a bit too much for such a simple thing as a border, but that’s okay, I guess the more detailed the spec the better.

The problem is that this 6 pages border specification is repeated in the OOXML … Continue Reading

Kobaly Consulting Manipulated and Parsed MS Word files in Medical Transcription Software using APIs

Posted on April 3, 2008 by Michael Kobaly

About Kobaly Consulting

In the Medical Transcription industry, Microsoft Word is the preferred application for transcribing documents. With that in mind, any additional processing of the transcribed documents had to be offloaded to a server machine so as not to interfere with the Medical Transcriptionist (MT) transcribing new documents. With Aspose.Words for .NET, we managed to incorporate real-time document processing of previous jobs and still enabled the MTs to continue using Word to transcribe the next job.
