Aspose development team is happy to announce the monthly release of Aspose.Words for .NET 17.3.0. This month?s release contains over 67 useful new features, enhancements and bug fixes. Please see the release notes for more detail. Here is a look at just a few of the biggest features and API changes in this month?s release; Full support for Word 2013 documents (roundtrip to/from DOCX), variables support and more new features are introduced in LINQ Reporting Engine, New Public OfficeMath properties: MathObjectType, Justification, DisplayType, Font substitution mechanism improved. Now Aspose.Words evaluates all related fields in FontInfo (Panose, Sig etc) and finds the closest match among the available font sources, Asian font rendering improved (more precise metrics calculation), Stroke weight is now taken into account while rendering auto-sized Textboxes, Implemented next round of improvements in table grid algorithm, Improved table breaking logic in compatibility mode for tables with header rows, Improved table breaking logic for tables with nested tables in a cell with bottom margin set, Improved tables breaking logic for tables with vertically merged cells having horizontal borders and Implemented fitText option for table cells. Starting from this release, Aspose team has added the full support of MS Word 2013 documents. The full support of roundtrip to/from DOCX is available in this Aspose.Words version. Previously, Aspose.Words performed font substitution only in cases when FontInfo in the document for the missing font doesn?t contain the PANOSE. Now Aspose.Words evaluates all related fields in FontInfo (Panose, Sig etc) and finds the closest match among the available font sources. In case of font substitution the warning is issued with text. Please note that now font substitution mechanism will override the FontSettings.DefaultFontName in cases when FontInfo for the missing font is available in the document. FontSettings.DefaultFontName will be used only in cases when there are no FontInfo for the missing font. Moreover, please note that font substitution algorithm in MS Word is not documented so, the result of Aspose.Words font substitution may not match MS Word choice. Aspose team has introduced new property in this release that allows user to get type MathObjectType of this Office Math object. The MathObjectType enumeration is added in Aspose.Words 17.3 to specify type of an Office Math object. It has introduced new option in that removes empty rows that contain mail merge regions from the document. It has also added new public properties Justification and DisplayType into the OfficeMath class. It has also added new public property Field.LocaleId in this release that allows user to get/set field?s locale. It has also added new paramerter -fitSizeLim for image tag to change the size of the textbox according to the size of the image without increasing the size of the textbox. It has also added support for variables in Aspose.Words 17.3 LINQ Reporting Engine that enables users to use variables in template documents. Variables are useful when users need to calculate an expensive value just once and access it multiple times in a template. The list of new and improved features added in this release are given below
