Add support for horizontal lines in documents.

In DOCX, such lines are defined using the legacy VML definitions:
<w:pict w14:anchorId="324D5836">
  <v:rect id="_x0000_i1025" style="width:0;height:1.5pt" o:hralign="center" o:hrstd="t" o:hr="t" fillcolor="#a0a0a0" stroked="f"/>
</w:pict>
The definitions above and the <hr/> HTML tag are currently not supported and skipped on import, leading to missing horizontal lines in the document.

StackOverflowException is thrown during PDF export of a document with a Header/Footer containing a page break.

Workaround: Remove page break from all header/footer paragraphs, or from a specific paragraph.

Header defaultHeader = section.Headers.Default;

if (defaultHeader != null)
{
    foreach (var item in defaultHeader.Blocks)
    {
        if (item is Paragraph paragraph)
        {
            paragraph.PageBreakBefore = false;
        }
    }
}

RadPdfProcessing already offers exception handling mechanism which allows you to handle unexpected behavior during import/export. Thus, the import/export process skips the problematic part and continues the execution. This would be a great addition to the WordsProcessing model as well.

Add support for VML shapes.

Related: Add support for Shape Group.

Shape Group is used to collect shapes and groups so they can be positioned and transformed as a single unit. A group contains group, shapetype, shape, pre-defined shape - arc, curve, image, line, oval, polyline, rect, roundrect - and lock elements.

When the object is serialized out as XML, its qualified name is v:group.

When there is an abstractNum defined with the same abstractNumId in word\glossary\numbering.xml and in the word\numbering.xml, a "System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added." exception is thrown.

In other cases, the import overwrites the styles from the main document part with the ones defined in the glossary or fails to import different parts of the content. 

Workaround: Delete the glossary files:

string path = "File.docx";
using (Stream str = new FileStream(path, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
{
	using (ZipArchive archive = ZipArchive.Update(str, null))
	{
		foreach (ZipArchiveEntry entry in archive.Entries.ToList())
		{
			if (entry.FullName.Contains("glossary/"))
			{
				entry.Delete();
			}
		}
	}

	DocxFormatProvider provider = new DocxFormatProvider();
	RadFlowDocument flowDocument = provider.Import(str, null);
}
