Please note that not all features of TX Text Control X13 have been announced publicly yet, but here are some selected major features. MS Word Compatible Drawings and Shapes -------------------------------------- The screenshot below shows the new ribbon interface to insert 180+ different shape types into TX Text Control: ![MS Word compatible drawings and shape](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2015/11/16/a/assets/tx_shapes_2300.webp "MS Word compatible drawings and shape")The shapes can be inserted as single objects or grouped in a *Drawing Canvas* into TX Text Control and can be completely customized using the ribbon interface, a ready-to-use dialog box and programmatically using the TX Text Control API. When activating drawing objects, a fully featured editor is available to modify the shapes. ![MS Word compatible drawings and shape](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2015/11/16/a/assets/tx_shapes_2300_2.webp "MS Word compatible drawings and shape")MailMerge: Integrated Merge Blocks ---------------------------------- In previous versions, merge blocks were defined by two bookmarks with special names. This concept is flexible, but not very user-friendly. Therefore, we integrated the repeating merge block as a document element into the core of TX Text Control. The new element, a SubTextPart, is a range of text that includes other elements such as table rows, complete tables, paragraphs and all other elements such as merge fields, images and the new shapes. ![MS Word compatible drawings and shape](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2015/11/16/a/assets/tx_blocks_x13.webp "MS Word compatible drawings and shape")Adding the merge blocks directly as a document element to the core of TX Text Control has another benefit: Performance. The performance of merging blocks within MailMerge increased up to 40% - a boost you can directly feel when previewing templates in the template designer. New Dialog Boxes ---------------- TX Text Control X13 provides new dialog boxes to insert symbol characters, hyperlinks and bookmarks. Additionally, a *Goto* dialog has been implemented to jump directly to pages, sections, tables, lines or bookmarks. ![New dialog boxes](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2015/11/16/a/assets/dialog_bookmark.webp "New dialog boxes")![New dialog boxes](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2015/11/16/a/assets/dialog_hyperlink.webp "New dialog boxes")![New dialog boxes](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2015/11/16/a/assets/dialog_symbol.webp "New dialog boxes")![New dialog boxes](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2015/11/16/a/assets/dialog_section.webp "New dialog boxes")Document Properties ------------------- General document properties such as author, creation date or keywords can be saved and loaded within all supported text formats using new properties in the [SaveSettings](https://docs.textcontrol.com/textcontrol/windows-forms/ref.txtextcontrol.savesettings.class.htm) and [LoadSettings](https://docs.textcontrol.com/textcontrol/windows-forms/ref.txtextcontrol.loadsettings.class.htm). Undo/Redo Grouping ------------------ A user-defined undo step can be defined using the new *BeginUndoAction* and *EndUndoAction* methods. All editing and formatting changes made between these methods belong to the undo operation. All of these changes are undone or redone in a single step. The user can define a name that is available with the *UndoActionName* property. These are just some of the new features of TX Text Control X13. Stay tuned for more.
