Detailed information on DOCX/Open XML

[Carlo Razzeto]

Hello there,

My company is currently moving in the direction of integration a Word
2007/Open XML powered custom reporting system into our webbased product.
Currently I'm researching the DOCX document format and am running into a
supprising lack of detail on the subject (so for I've found a couple of word
docs with only an overview of the structure). This is in stark contrast to
the amount and quality of information I found on XPS (we're also considering
moving in that direciton for "printable" data, but I degress).

Does anyone know where I might find documents that describe in detail the
structure of a DOCX file, and perhaps might give some clues as to how to go
about the automation process? I'm also interested in resources regarding
office programming, as our current design plan includes creating a custom
Word 2007 ribbon which allows end user to add business objects to their
reprots (account number, referrers whatever else they want).

Thanks very much for any assitance.

Hi Carlo,

Does anyone know where I might find documents that describe in detail the
structure of a DOCX file, and perhaps might give some clues as to how to go
about the automation process?

Have you read Brian Jones's blog and seen the
http://openxmldeveloper.org/default.aspx site? I think you'll find a lot of
what you're looking for, and links to documentation, in these places.

Hello,
I'm trying to find the best (simple, quick, template-based) approach for generating docx documents with dynamic data from C# code. I came accross FlexDoc (http://flexdoc.codeplex.com) and it seems to do exactly what I want. Would you recommend it?

Are there any better alternatives?

Thanks.
