Docx4j Helper AddIn - 2023

[jason]

Here is a new installer, signed with a refreshed certificate: https://www.docx4java.org/docx4j/Docx4j ... -2-1-2.exe

This is an AddIn for Word running on Windows only.

Functionality wise, this is identical to the previous release, so no need to update if you have that installed already. (The blurb below is copied from the previous release)

This AddIn allows you to see your XML and generate corresponding docx4j Java code directly within Word. So for example, you can create a docx on the fly containing the structure you want, then generate corresponding code inside Word. No need to save the docx. (Or you could open a pre-existing docx if you wanted)

Since everything is done locally, there is no possible leakage of your content to the Internet.

(An alternative to this AddIn is the docx4j webapp, at http://webapp.docx4java.org/ but that does require you to upload a docx. If your content is sensitive, you could anonymise it first locally, if you install docx4j then use https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/blob/ ... ingle.java )

With this release, generating code for textboxes and AlternateContent structures are supported.

For example a docx containing a textbox behind the scenes looks like (some XML omitted for brevity):

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]
