isWordArt not set to true for word art shapes

Aspose.Cells Product Family

Hi,

In version 18.4.1.0 for Cells .Net 4.0, it appears that the isWordArt flag does not get set to true when a WordArt object exists in the excel worksheet. Is this a bug or because we’re accessing it through the Shapes collection? I have an example workbook attached.

Thanks!

The Shape.IsWordArt is only for the Legacy Shape of XLS file.

Since Office 2007, Word Art is not a special type of shape, you change any character of the shape as Word Art. So we could not detect whether it is Word Art.

Please see the following attached file for a reference.
