Work with office file (.docx, .xlsx)

Question

Hi!
How can I open/create/save/change any word file? Can I use some library or must write myself?
I known that docx file is archive with xml documents, but how I can change, for ex., some paragraph/text/etc.?
Thanks!

Answer 1

There are no native controls for working with docx files in Windows Store APIs. You may be able to find a third-party control that does this.

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined objects and unknown namespaces.
