We successfully raised several features or development issues for public discussion before. Those resulted in useful outcomes (for example ImportFormatMode). We intend to continue seeking feedback from the users of Aspose.Words how you want to see the product grow and evolve.

At the moment two more topics are available for you to comment on:

Points or Twips?

Do We Need More Namespaces?… Continue Reading

I’ve been trying to find a good backup utility for our development environment for long time. I wanted to backup to DVD because it is great in terms of storage space, price and availability. I was trying various programs found by googling, but all to unsatisfactory results. Some were crashing, some did not handle many files well, took hours just counting the files. Some were full of adware.

Today is a great day because I ended up using Firestreamer-RM (Removable Media) from Cristalink … Continue Reading

Hopefully the list of stories will grow. The stories will be published in Aspose.Word Wiki. If you are interested in contributing, please let us know.… Continue Reading

We are working on a port of Aspose.Word from C# to Java and I’m baffled by some Java features (or a lack of them) that we take for granted in C#. I don’t intend to abuse Java in anyway, but I think if this language is to survive, they are ought to move and rework these things faster.

One thing that strikes me a lot is the lack of “internal” accessibility level for classes and methods. I think it is a … Continue Reading

I recently read this article in MSDN blogs Design Guidelines Update: Exception Throwing and this prompted me to finally review how Aspose.Word throws exceptions.

I must say I agree with everything what Krzysztof says in that article and I was actually doing exactly that for ages in my C++ and Delphi projects long before .NET. Of course that was raising some eyebrows from many developers whom I used to work with, but I knew it would come out right in the … Continue Reading

I’m looking for a tool that will help me efficiently author quaility API documentation for Aspose.Word and other components. I’ve looked at several commercial and free tools and nothing really suits. It looks like my requirements for a help authoring tool come from a different planet.

1. I want to use C# XML comments to create the API documentation. Therefore, the documentation will essentially be in XML format.

2. I want the documentation for public classes and methods to be … Continue Reading

There’ve been several requests from the customers for Aspose.Word to support processing of Word documents with embedded true type fonts. I’ve looked into the issue and there are actually two feature requests around embedded fonts:

1. Be able to embed fonts in Word documents.
2. Be able to process (open, modify and save) Word documents with embedded fonts already there.

It looks like True Type fonts are embedded in Word files using some Agfa MicroType Express compression technology. Apparently this compression technology … Continue Reading
