Release Notes

We have updated the Word package to ensure compatibility with Clipboard AI v24.1.5 and Autopilot.

Additionally, we have implemented a few bug fixes to enhance overall performance and stability.

We now offer support for the Word package in coded workflows.

The following activities are now available for Windows projects:

For the Word Application Scope activity, we have added two new properties to manage sensitivity labels: Sensitivity label and Sensitivity operation. For more details, refer to Word Application Scope / Use Word File.

A COM error occurs when an automation attempts to update a file without a required sensitivity label, as mandated by company policy.

For this release, we made sure to bring minor improvements and security fixes to this package.

We have made multiple improvements to the Use Word File activity:

We have changed some of the public types from the Word activities package. For example, WordDocument had a public constructor, which allowed it to be instantiated on its own, but, now, it is no longer possible. Despite changing some of the public types, there should be no impact on activities, as only custom code is affected.

To avoid any issues following the public types change, make sure you apply the below steps:

You can now find and add activities from this package in Studio projects where it is not installed as a dependency. If the package is not installed in a project, its activities can be found in the Available category of the Activities panel and the Add activity search bar. When you add an available activity from the package to a project, the package is installed as a project dependency.

When a Word document contained multiple instances of the same text added in text boxes, the Replace Text in Document activity replaced all instances even if the Replace all option was disabled.

A TargetInvocationException error occurred when adding an activity to a workflow using the latest version of the package with Studio 2022.10 and earlier.

A TargetInvocationException error occurred when adding an activity to a workflow using the latest version of the package with Studio 2022.10 and earlier.

When the activities added in a Word Application Scope / Use Word File activity finished processing a document, the document was closed but the Microsoft Word application remained open.

The user interface of the activities in the Word package is now available in Traditional Chinese.

Improvements

This activity pack has now been upgraded and is fully compatible with the C# Studio feature. For more information about C# support, see About Automation Projects.

A new activity is available, Save Word File As saves a Word file added to the project as a different file. You can specify the file name and the Word file type to save as.

A new property, Replace all, has been added to the Replace Text in Document activity, enabling you to replace all of the occurrences of the specified string, not just the first one.

Reading bullet lists with the Read Text activity is now supported with the Word activities pack.

The amount of packages you can find on UiPath activity feeds is humongous, and it grows by each passing day. This can prove to be a nuisance when searching for a package with a more common name, for example. We felt your pain and decided to do something about this. From now on, all UiPath official activity packs can be easily filtered in the Package Manager so you’ll be able to reach your favorite package in no time!

The Word activities have been updated to be compatible with the StudioX profile. The UiPath.Word.Activities package is now a default dependency for all projects created in the StudioX profile.

We have further increased language support by adding Turkish, Portuguese (Portugal), Spanish (Latin America), and Spanish (Spain) to the list of languages present in the UiPath Platform.

Three new languages, German, South Korean, and Portuguese are available for the UiPath.Word.Activities package.

We want to reach out to the entire world and make automation a language everyone can speak. So, starting with this release, the entire platform is available in Chinese.

To align with the Package Signing feature, the Word activities pack has been officially signed by UiPath.

This new year brings two more languages in the entire UiPath Platform - French and Russian. Since we layed down the foundations of localization in our previous release, we are continuing our efforts in bringing you a more immersive experience and lowering the language barrier bit by bit.

This release rounds off the edges of the Word Activities Package by adding two new activities:

Also, the Add Image activity has been renamed to Add Picture, for the sake of consistency.

The moment is finally here - the entire UiPath Platform has been localized, so that you can have a truly immersive experience, from install to design and execution. Now, besides English, you can access everything, including our online documentation, in Japanese.
