When did Aspose.Word start requiring .NET version 1.1?

According to https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/system-requirements/ .NET 1.0 is all that’s required.

This is an issue for us, our application needs to run under .NET 1.0.

Thanks,
Trevor

Hi Trevor,

We started to target .NET Framework 1.1 since Aspose.Word 1.6. Sorry the requirements page was not updated.

You should be able to edit your application configuration file and make Aspose.Word target .NET Framework 1.0 as described in MSDN article Targeting a .NET Framework Version.

Dear Customers,

We have released Aspose.Word 1.7.5 hotfix.

  2. Allow multiple paragraphs inside text form fields.

Dear Customers,

We have released Aspose.Word 1.7.6 hotfix.

In this version:

  1. Allow inserting and removing text that contains multiple paragraphs into form fields. Previous version was just letting multiparagraph text in form fields to pass from input to output document.
  2. Added DocumentBuilder.EndTable method that you should (but not required) to call at the end of a table. Calling this method explicitly moves the cursor out of the table.

Hello,
I just started using the Aspose.Word evaluation assembly today, and I’m pretty sure I ran into a bug. I’ll bet that’s what many users say when they’re doing something wrong, though, so I’ll let you decide for yourselves:

Using a letter size (8.5 x 11in = 612 x 792pt) page, the DocumentBuilder.PageSetup.PageWidth and DocumentBuilder.PageSetup.PageHeight are reversed…

I added a Watch on the DocumentBuilder.PageSetup object in debug, and the following items are of interest to the situation:

Orientation: Portrait
PageHeight: 612
PageWidth: 792

Note that this would make the width larger than the height, like Landscape mode, but the Orientation is clearly set to Portrait mode.

Also note that I’m using the latest hotfixed dll.

Thanks,
Jeremy Rosenberg
