Spell Checking Support via Third-Party Components

In this release we introduce the ability to integrate a third-party spell checking component with Aspose.Editor control into your application.

New version provides demo project which implements adapter class for Keyoti RapidSpell Desktop for .NET control (version 3.7.0). If you have this product installed on your system you can enable spell checking by adding single line of code to your project.

Other spell checker controls could be integrated with Aspose.Editor by implementing corresponding wrappers if supported by spell checker component.

Here is the screenshot of demo application using the Keyoti RapidSpell component:

Read-Only (Viewer) mode

Another feature to satisfy specific needs of word processing applications is the Read-Only mode. Setting the EditorControl.Options.IsReadOnly property to true switches the editor into viewer, just like Adobe Acrobat Reader and other applications of that kind. While in Read-Only mode user is still able to select text and copy it to the clipboard if needed.

The demo project implements new custom command and menu item to show this feature:

Save Documents in Microsoft Office Open XML (DOCX) Format

Office Open XML is the new XML-based format introduced in Microsoft Office 2007 applications. Office Open XML is a container format for several specialized XML-based markup languages. WordprocessingML is the markup language used by Microsoft Office Word 2007 to store its documents.

Current version of Aspose.Editor allows you only to save documents in DOCX format; later versions may provide the full cycle functionality on this format.
