Upcoming products – Aspose.Words version 10.0

We are releasing Aspose.Words version 10.0 soon. To keep the .NET and Java versions of the components in step, we are autoporting code from the .NET product to the Java product. From now on, users of Aspose.Words for Java customers will get the same updates as our Aspose.Words for .NET users. We are grateful for the patience that our Java users have shown while we have been working on this important development.

Want to know how we did it? We have a number of blog entries on autoporting on the Aspose.Word blog. Watch this video to see what our autoporting process looks like.

Technical Article – Working Solution for Chart Re-sizing

An Excel chart embedded as an OLE object in a PowerPoint presentation using Aspose.Slides for Java has different sizes before and after chart activation. This is caused by the fact that the spreadsheet and the OLE object each has a set size. When a chart is activated from a PowerPoint slide, a certain amount of negotiation is performed between the two applications. This affects the size of the embedded object when it is closed again. Working with Microsoft, we found a solution to this issue.
