Mixed LTR/RTL Text Handling & DrawingML Textboxes Rendering in Word Docs

LANE COVE, Australia - Nov. 17, 2014 - PRLog -- What's New in this Release?

Aspose development team is happy to announce the monthly release of Aspose.Words for Java &.NET 14.10.0.  This month’s release contains over 106 useful new features, enhancements and bug fixes to the Aspose.Words products. Some of the biggest features and API changes in this month’s release includes, improved DocumentBuilder to handle mixed LTR/RTL text, improved breaking of floating tables in layout, improved custom tab stop beyond line ending, implemented new features and effects for DrawingML rendering, added the LoadOptions.WebRequestTimeout property and several others. We have now added hte LoadOptions.WebRequestTimeout option. Previously, HTML import tried to load images using WebRequest with default time out 100000ms which sometimes failed for every image with the error ‘Unable to connect to the remote server’ exception. In earlier versions when Aspose.Words encountered DrawingML text box, it rendered fallback VML Shape textbox. That is why rotation and some other formatting properties were lost. In the new version of Aspose.Words, it renders true DrawingML textboxes. Also, to be able to render DrawingML textboxes, DmlRenderingMode.DrawingML must be set.
