I'm happy to announce a new version of WordLib!

Ready for extreme imports? It's time for total document domination.

WordLib 2.0 brings serious attitude to your word processing imports with 
a bevy of new MS Word formatting features (such as paragraph alignment, 
line spacing, borders, complex highlights, better tables, hierarchical 
lists) to match the new field capabilities in LiveCode 5.5 and later.

You also get "the rest of the story" with document meta info, added 
options such as a starting folder for the import command, friendly 
Unicode, a better Mobile experience thanks to greater parity with 
Desktop features, and an improved demo that runs everywhere.

And now "everywhere" just got bigger; this version includes the Android 
platform, so documents may run, but there's nowhere to hide from your 
import capabilities.

If you're new to WordLib, it's all about getting a Word or OpenOffice 
file into a LiveCode field, either at runtime so that your end users can 
load arbitrary documents, or during development if you want to use your 
favorite word processor to design content for your fields.

Web page and download are here:

To purchase WordLib, you can choose between two great options, the 
RunRev Marketplace and my eSellerate store. Both are linked in the above 
web page and in the software demo itself.

(The eSellerate store is ready to deliver the new version immediately, 
as of this announcement, so if you're in a hurry it's there for the 
taking. However, I want to equally encourage the RunRev Marketplace, 
which offers a great purchase experience and stellar support. I'm not 
sure exactly what time the new version will show up there, but just 
download the demo first from the above link, and I'll post here again 
when I see the Marketplace updated.)

The 2.0 series is a paid upgrade, and will span approximately a year of 
continued development and updates, with the initial focus on OpenOffice 
and legacy Word improvements. For my awesome existing customers, if you 
wish to upgrade via eSellerate, just shoot me an email offlist with 
"WordLib Upgrade" in the subject line and I'll email back an upgrade 
coupon within one day. If you wish to upgrade via the RunRev store, 
you'll be receiving information soon.

(This version is compatible with Commercial LiveCode; I'll be catching 
up on features and updates for my product line first, as people have 
been anticipating these, before looking into the Community edition 
possibilities.)

I hope you enjoy the update! I'll be announcing updates for other 
products soon.

Best wishes,

Curry Kenworthy
