This is the most important new feature in Aspose.Words for .NET 5.3.0 that I almost forgot to mention!

It is now possible to load OpenDocument (OpenOffice Writer) documents in Aspose.Words! Aspose.Words will recognize ODT files automatically and also a new LoadFormat.Odt enumerated value has been added.

It is now easy to convert ODT to OOXML or any other document format supported by Aspose.Words:

Document doc = new Document(@”C:\MyFile.odt”);
doc.Save(@”C:\MyFile Out.docx”);

Note: Loading OpenDocument is in Beta at the moment. We … Continue Reading

This has been possible with Aspose.Words all the time, but it has now gotten a lot easier.

We used to promote Aspose.Words to be used in .NET and Java applications only and provided “pretty cold” support for customers who wanted to use Aspose.Words in classical ASP with VBScript or JavaScript, in PHP, Delphi or other programming languages.

Here is what we’ve … Continue Reading

What’s changed:

• Smart tags are now supported
• Aspose.Words.TLB and Aspose.Words.IDL are now provided to simplify use from unmanaged code.
• A new article in the documentation on how to use Aspose.Words from PHP, Perl, Python, PowerBuilder and other languages.
• 35 fixes, enhancements and new features.

We are trying ourselves in making product and training videos. There are at least three short videos for an upcoming new version of Aspose.Words for Reporting Services planned. This is the first video about running AWRS on a server.

If you fancy 2 minutes listening to a guy (me) speaking English with a bit of Russian accent you can try.

Other than that we are looking to hear your feedback. Do you want more videos? What topics? Do you … Continue Reading

Let me start a bit off-topic with: Why should you use Aspose.Words to generate DOC documents?

Since 2004, Aspose.Words has been an excellent library for reading, converting and generating binary DOC Microsoft Word documents. There is a question on Joel Spolsky’s discussion group How do Aspose and Others Generate Office Docs that unfortunately I did not have an opportunity to answer. One comment there says:

…you need to duplicate many, many man years of work in order to do this?

Has Apose really done … Continue Reading
