WordprocessingDocument -> WordOpenXML?

[David Thielen]

Is there a way to get the OpenXML WordprocessingDocument object to
render as the Word COM API Document.Content.WordOpenXML XML?

thanks - dave

In OpenXML SDK, no! I am not ware of any API to do this. Why not directly
open it using COM API and retrieve the WordOpenXML string? And what is the
objective to do this? Maybe we can workaround by other ways.

This is the one case where we are working on a file and not a document
in Word. We are using this to write/read document snippets to let
people save pieces to then drag/drop in other documents.

We can implement this ourselves, but if it already existed that would
have let us avoid this work.

Hi;

The more I think about it the more I like your idea. Is there any
downside to creating an invisible document, passing it the one format,
getting it in the other format, and then discarding the document?

Is this slow?

Is it better to just create the hidden document the first time I need
it and keep it until I exist, reusing it as needed?

thanks - dave
