| OfficeWriter V4 is the
culmination of a major rewrite of OfficeWriter. Office 2007
XML File Formats are fully supported. There is no longer any
dependency on the Java run-time – all code is native .NET
in C#. Best of all, performance is dramatically improved in
terms of both execution time and memory usage. The creation
of larger files are up to six
times faster than prior versions, and the XML
file format uses up to forty
times less memory. Most actions are 30%-40%
faster. This is a huge benefit for all customers and all circumstances.
