Use older version of Office.js for Word add-in? - ms-word

Microsoft updated Office.js this week, and a bug in the latest version is causing serious issues for users of my Word add-in.
Is it possible to specify an older version of Office.js? This seems like basic functionality that should be provided.
I see that it is possible to self host Office.js but Microsoft says that you can't do this for add-ins on App Source and my add-in is available there.

Could you please provide details about the bug that you are facing after the update was made? If there is a regression we can make the patch/update to address the issue. So far we have not received any other issues - so any information you can share around which API is failing with error info would be great.

Someone associated with Microsoft posted an answer, but the answer was downvoted and deleted. :(
I have enough rep to see the deleted answer so I will repeat it:
The Office.js version cannot be specified.
So you are stuck with the latest version of Office.js and cannot change that.

How to migrate from TinyMCE 4 to TinyMCE 5 - Prestashop

A day ago my prestashop website, in the comment box of the blog started to display the following message:
And entering the post that explains how to migrate the version of TinyMCE , I do not understand very well how to perform these steps in my prestashop.
How can I update this?a
if you are using a third-party module to make your blog it might be is including its own version of TinyMCE. You should try to dig in its code to understand that.
If this is not the case, the blog uses TinyMCE which is normally included in Prestashop core.
On said that, this second case is likely to be the one. Update the e-commerce unlikely will solve your problem. I honestly don't remember in which version they are with TinyMCE but doing an upgrade like that might break back-office editor forms so I don't think they are keen on that at the moment. They are doing a major rollover to Symfony, I am pretty sure this is their priority right now. As said in one comment, Prestashop's dev team has to solve the issue on their side.

In which MS Word version is the "Spike" included?

I want to use the Spike in MS Word but I need to know which was the first version where it's integrated in Word. I couldn't find this information yet.
Thanks a lot in advance.
I found out that it's integrated since Word 2013.

Is there a way to disable spell/grammar check on Microsoft Word using their JavaScript API?

If not, is there a way to do that with either docx4j or Aspose?
I've stumbled across the question
docx Template Docx4j replacing text in Java. It describes the actual problem I'm facing, which are template variables (like ${some.variable}) breaking across text runs due to spell check. However, his solution won't work well for me. The best solution I could achieve would be to disable (and maybe re-enable) spell check automatically under the hood.
There isn't at this point in time, but you can give feedback on https://officespdev.uservoice.com/ to request it to be added in future updates to the APIs.
Thanks,

Pentaho 5.0.1 Send scheduled reports in Email Body

How do I send scheduled email with reports within email body. The documention available is not for version 5.0.1 Community Edition. It appears I may have to use xaction (was hoping not) . However I do not know how to go about it? Help please
Pentaho Provides a sample xaction script (email_inventory_inline_HTML.xaction) that does this. Script is in directory:biserver-ce\pentaho-solutions\bi-developers\reporting\unified-file-format for older versions but under Public/Bi Developer Examples/Reporting/PRPT Samples .
I used the Design Studio to modify the xaction script to suit my needs. The Design Studio was not perfect so I had to recheck the generated xaction script for accuracy,
It work fine.
Here is the documentation for scheduling reports by email.
Please remmember it is the enterprise version (which is better documented) and some details might change in the community version.

Can I still release a product with iText 2.1.5?

I can not find any link related with 2.1.5 from SourceForge. I wonder whether I can still use this version as a third party component in my product.
Any comment would be appreciated very much!
Sure you can. Search the web and you will find that version easily (e.g. here or here) It is a different question however whether you should still use that version. It is quite old and lots of bugs have been fixed and new functionality has been added. So do the following:
check the license restrictions (LGPL vs. AGPL)
if you don't have a problem with a GPL based license then use the latest 5.X version
if you can't use APGL buy a commercial license or use at least version 2.1.7
if you go the 2.1.7 route do some testing - in many cases it will do its job still fine. If not you'll probably have to fix it by yourself
Update: I would now use openPDF which is a maintained fork based on 2.1.7.
