Here is a next release with improvements and fixes to DOCX import (which is still in Beta) and others.

Notes

• A great new feature is support for picture bullets. It was highly demanded by users. Picture bullets are custom images used for bullets instead of text bullets or numbers. Picture bullets are now supported in DOC, RTF, WordML, DOCX and export to PDF formats in Aspose.Words.
• An important fix for defect 4091 where hyperlink targets in imported DOCX files were altered by Aspose.Words.

This is a maintenance release getting us a bit closer to perfect conversion of RDL reports to editable Microsoft Word documents. We have fixed a number of bugs reported by our users as well as polished the export by adding and debugging some more smart conversion algorithms. Besides, we have changed the way some report items (such as table rows) are exported.

What’s fixed

• Fixed a number of issues when exporting reports to editable Word documents.
