We are thrilled to announce the release of Aspose.Words for Python via .NET 24.7 (Win32)! This update delivers a range of significant enhancements designed to empower Python developers working with document processing tasks.
Manage ActiveX Controls in Python
Enjoy better control over ActiveX objects in your documents by editing their properties to offer a more robust user experience using the newest Python Words API release. Check out the following Python code sample to learn how to control ActiveX objects on Windows 32-bit architecture.
doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'ActiveX controls.docx')
shape = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, 0, True).as_shape()
ole_control = shape.ole_format.ole_control.as_forms2_ole_control()
ole_control.fore_color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.from_argb(23, 225, 53)
ole_control.back_color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.from_argb(51, 151, 244)
ole_control.height = 100.54
ole_control.width = 201.06

Generate Accessible Documents
Create documents that adhere to PDF/UA-2 accessibility standards with our Python API and ascertain smooth access for all types of users.
Seamless XLSX Export
Aspose.Words for Python via .NET 24.7.0 offers automatic detection of date/time formats and effortless data transfer among documents and spreadsheets. This code sample shows how to use this feature in your Python applications.
doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Xlsx DateTime.docx')
save_options = aw.saving.XlsxSaveOptions()
# Specify using datetime format autodetection.
save_options.date_time_parsing_mode = aw.saving.XlsxDateTimeParsingMode.AUTO
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'XlsxSaveOptions.DateTimeParsingMode.xlsx', save_options=save_options)

Enriched Markdown Export
Manage how links are exported in Markdown file format inside your Python word-processing applications with the newly added LinkExportMode property. This update offers better flexibility for documentation generation. The following code sample illustrates the feature usage.
doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
builder.insert_shape(aw.drawing.ShapeType.BALLOON, 100, 100)
# Image will be written as reference:
# ![ref1]
#
# [ref1]: aw_ref.001.png
save_options = aw.saving.MarkdownSaveOptions()
save_options.link_export_mode = aw.saving.MarkdownLinkExportMode.REFERENCE
doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + "MarkdownSaveOptions.LinkExportMode.Reference.md", save_options)
# Image will be written as inline:
# 
save_options.link_export_mode = aw.saving.MarkdownLinkExportMode.INLINE
doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + "MarkdownSaveOptions.LinkExportMode.Inline.md", save_options)

Add advanced form functionalities to your documents by programmatically interacting with ActiveX radio buttons and checkboxes. These code samples illustrate how to interact with radio buttons and checkboxes, respectively, on Windows x32-powered systems.
doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Radio buttons.docx')
shape1 = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, 0, True).as_shape()
option_button1 = shape1.ole_format.ole_control.as_option_button_control()
# Deselect selected first item.
option_button1.selected = False
shape2 = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, 1, True).as_shape()
option_button2 = shape2.ole_format.ole_control.as_option_button_control()
# Select second option button.
option_button2.selected = True
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Shape.SelectRadioControl.docx')

doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'ActiveX controls.docx')
shape = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, 0, True).as_shape()
check_box_control = shape.ole_format.ole_control.as_check_box_control()
check_box_control.checked = True

Customize List Number Style
Specify custom numbering styles for different list levels and enjoy greater control over the visual appearance of numbered lists, as illustrated in this Python coding snippet.
doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'List with leading zero.docx')
doc.update_list_labels()
paras = doc.first_section.body.paragraphs
self.assertEqual('001.', paras[0].list_label.label_string)
self.assertEqual('0001.', paras[1].list_label.label_string)
self.assertEqual('0002.', paras[2].list_label.label_string)
paras[1].list_format.list_level.custom_number_style_format = '001, 002, 003, ...'
doc.update_list_labels()
self.assertEqual('001.', paras[0].list_label.label_string)
self.assertEqual('001.', paras[1].list_label.label_string)
self.assertEqual('002.', paras[2].list_label.label_string)

Personalize Chart Data Labels
Boost the visual appeal of charts by orientating and rotating data labels as required for more impactful presentations using Aspos.Words for Python via .NET 24.7.0 version. Here is how you can use this functionality in your applications.
doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
shape = builder.insert_chart(chart_type=aw.drawing.charts.ChartType.COLUMN, width=432, height=252)
series = shape.chart.series[0]
data_labels = series.data_labels
# Show data labels.
series.has_data_labels = True
data_labels.show_value = True
data_labels.show_category_name = True
# Define data label shape.
data_labels.format.shape_type = aw.drawing.charts.ChartShapeType.UP_ARROW
data_labels.format.stroke.fill.solid(aspose.pydrawing.Color.dark_blue)
# Set data label orientation and rotation for the entire series.
data_labels.orientation = aw.drawing.ShapeTextOrientation.VERTICAL_FAR_EAST
data_labels.rotation = -45
# Change orientation and rotation of the first data label.
data_labels[0].orientation = aw.drawing.ShapeTextOrientation.HORIZONTAL
data_labels[0].rotation = 45
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Charts.LabelOrientationRotation.docx')
