Set view options on Word files
This feature supports how a document is displayed when it's opened in an application. It controls the view type and zoom type of the document when it opens, along with other properties.
Set compatibility options
Adding CompatibilityOptions to the Word files ensures that the Word documents created in older versions retain their properties when opened in newer versions. The addition of CompatibilityOptions class gives users control over 70+ compatibility features of Word files.
Control hyphenation in text
With the GcWord HyphenationOptions class, you can control hyphenation with various options to either automatically hyphenate the document that you create, or set an option to use the hyphenation tool to manually hyphenate your document.
Improve speed when creating new document
We are continuously monitoring the performance of GcWord with every release and have been working on improving the experience of generating word documents. Now you can generate multiple instances of GcWordDocument in just few seconds as creating a GcWordDocument is 4 times faster than before. Check out the demo sample below.
Support for theme colors
You can now set theme colors and modify existing themes per your company's brand. You can set color schemes that define the colors for background and text in your documents.
Format text as superscript or subscript and export to PDF
You can apply superscript and subscript settings to text in chemical compounds, formulas, mathematical expressions, etc., and GcWord now supports exporting superscript/subscript text to PDF.
