Hi;

Is there a way through the API to add a file to and read a file from
the zip file that is a docx/xlsx/pptx file?

thanks - dave

Hi Dave,

We can use Open XML Format SDK 2.0 API to achieve such an objective,

By API you mean an Office object model?

No, with the exception of CustomXMLParts.

Yep - the Office object model. Because if it's being saved in
SHarePoint or OfficeLive being able to open it and write to it after
it's saved is a very iffy proposal.

Bummer.

What kind of file are you wanting to add? (I haven't been following the
Office Live/Sharepoint discussions in any detail, so I may be missing a
fact you're stated elsewhere...)

I want to put the data we presently save in Document.Variables in a
data file in the docx file. I figure that's a cleaner way to do it and
avoids any issues with Variables.

And why not use a CustomXMLPart? (As per a previous discussion we had)

That's what we will probably do. I just liked the idea of our own file
in the zip.
