There is Aspose.Words 5.1.0 available in downloads http://www.aspose.com/community/files/51/file-format-components/aspose.words/entry119442.aspx.

Here I just wanted to elaborate more on what we’ve done:

Improvements to DrawingML Import (in OOXML)

When we started implementation of Office Open XML export and import features in Aspose.Words about a year ago, Microsoft Word 2007 was storing images and shapes in the VML format inside a DOCX document. All information we could find at that time was saying that DrawingML although part of the Office Open XML … Continue Reading

Yes, it works.

We will continue to ship two assemblies: bin\net1.1\Aspose.Words.dll and bin\net2.0\Aspose.Words.dll built for .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 respectively.

bin\net2.0\Aspose.Words.dll is to be used with:

• Visual Studio 2005
• Visual Studio 2008
• .NET Framework 2.0 (with or without SP1)
• .NET Framework 3.0 (with or without SP1)
• .NET Framework 3.5
• x86 or x64 application

Therefore it is very easy to use from any .NET application be it an AJAX, ASP.NET, Windows Forms etc.

This is a maintenance release with a good number of fixes. Thank you to the customers who reported and waited for their fixes patiently.

This guy Pascal (sorry cannot find any more info) has written an interesting series of articles called Implementing conditional logic for Word documents using Aspose.Words.

Basically, this is a feature we get a lot of requests for and he went out and implemented it himself. We are very impressed with the extent of work he has done. Hats off to Pascal.

This is not the first time a customer implements some required feature before we at Aspose get to implement … Continue Reading

We have published an interesting demo project that you might find useful.

This demo project uses Aspose.Cells for .NET, Aspose.Words for .NET and about 1200 lines of custom code to convert Microsoft Excel workbooks to Microsoft Word documents.

Using this project, you can convert from any load format supported by Aspose.Cells (XLS, OOXML XLSX, SpreadsheetML, CSV and tab delimited) to any save format supported by Aspose.Words (DOC, OOXML DOCX, RTF, WordprocessingML, HTML, PDF).

For more info see the download page: … Continue Reading
