New in GrapeCity Documents for Word

• Improved Copy and Move Range Operations - Several scenarios are now improved when applying copy and move range operations in Microsoft Word documents:

• Added the Ability to Remove Empty Runs during Replace Operations - Added FindReplaceOptions.RemoveEmptyRuns boolean property indicating whether the replace should remove empty runs or not.
• Improved Content Object Collection Enumeration - While enumerating over a range, the enumeration will contain objects the developer doesn't expect to see in some cases. This behavior is consistent with the standard Microsoft Word API. But in many cases, a different behavior may be desirable, namely to iterate over the MINIMUM collection of objects in the range. This can now be achieved via the new RangeBase.GetInnerCollection() method or via the new ContentObject.GetChildren() methods.
