axesWord 25.0 ‒ Release Notes

Release-Date

2025-01-07

New

  • The Microsoft Word table format information “Header row” and “First column” are taken into account for the table roles “Automatic” and “Table”, provided that no style sheet roles are used within the table. This is a breaking change, see New features for tables in axesWord 25.0.
  • Bookmarks are exported in full. This is controlled via the “Heading” styles or the axesWord style role “Heading”.
  • The “Quote” style built into Word is exported as a “BlockQuote” element.
  • The new roles “Title” and “Subtitle” can be assigned to a style in the axesWord role assignments.

New “Entra ID” licensing option

axesWord 25.0 contains the new option “Entra ID licensing”; this allows axes4 products to be licensed without any communication to axes4 servers.
