I am happy to announce release of Aspose.Words for .NET 5.2.0 that is now available for download.

New Feature: Save as MHTML

We have added a new useful feature: save as MHTML. MHTML is a “web archive” or “single file web page” format. An HTML document and all external resources (images and stylesheets) are stored within a single file. MHTML could be a good option if you need to convert documents to HTML. When saving documents as HTML, Aspose.Words saves images … Continue Reading

There is a number of great products already out there built by great companies and great people that incorporate Aspose.Words for their document processing needs. But I find it especially rewarding when Aspose.Words is used to build a word processing application, especially an online word processor!

We’ve mentioned earlier and got mentioned that the Buzzword team chose Aspose.Words for .NET to use as an engine for loading and saving documents in various formats. We keep working hard to make sure they are … Continue Reading

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

This is a brief update for an article I wrote about a year ago on how to create  Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 DOC to PDF (and other) document converters using Aspose components.

A Bit of History

We have published the article initially at CodeProject in the SharePoint section. The article was actually quite popular and received lots of hits. However, after a few months it was deleted by CodeProject. The reason given for deletion was “the article promotes a … Continue Reading

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

Found an interesting article http://www.codeproject.com/KB/reporting-services/report-viewer-hack.aspx. This guy is clearly a big fan of Aspose.Words for Reporting Services.

Yes, it works.

We’ve tested Aspose.Words for .NET 5.1.0 installs and works fine on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x64.

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

bin\net2.0\Aspose.Words.dll will continue to target .NET Framework 2.0 because it does not use any .NET 3.0 or 3.5 features. A good MSDN article .NET Framework 3.5 … Continue Reading
