To update, download and install the latest version from the product’s installation section.
Changes
- Observes Advanced Options for Updates settings from WordsFlow’s import options when updating links created by non-WordsFlow import filters (such as Adobe’s Microsoft Word, RTF, or Text filters). WordsFlow first looks for document-level merge settings saved with WordsFlow > Edit Import Options for Document and then for workspace-level merge settings saved with WordsFlow > Edit Import Options for New Documents. If no saved settings are found, default settings are used (legacy behavior). This change provides greater control over change tracking, table column/row movement, and style mapping when updating stories that don’t use WordsFlow’s import options.
If your link update of a placed .doc file is unstable, you can now disable WordsFlow’s default generation of change tracking as a step towards making it more reliable. With nothing selected in the active document, select File > WordsFlow > Edit Import Options for Document and then select Advanced Options for Updates. In the sub-dialog, change the Change Tracking setting to None, select OK and then OK, and then try your link update again. - Fixes a problem that resulted in missing content when importing a Word document containing table cells that use Content Control (OOXML structured document tags).
- Fixes a problem that caused imports of Word documents containing an unnamed numbering level to fail with a “TypeError” message.
- Fixes a Word import problem that resulted in the loss of a table cell’s text direction.
- Fixes a problem that caused link updates of stories containing images to, in rare situations, fail with a “KeyError” message.
- Restores compatibility with InDesign 2024’s 19.0 release while maintaining compatibility with newer InDesign 2024 releases.
- Adds an application startup alert and a Download Newer Version menu item when a new version of WordsFlow becomes available. The alert is only shown once for any given release, while the menu item remains available until the plug-in is actually updated.
- Actively fetches WordsFlow’s version status in its About dialog.
