Dynamically create word document with images in C# ?

Adding to solution 1:

I have built a class to do more or less what you describe: custom documents with images. Mine is database driven so DBA's can create documents without learning how to. I happened to use php/javascript, but that's not important.

Here's what is - in terms of being helpful to solving your problem.

Create a very simple document with Word, like "hello world", and save it as XML (one of the options). Now, open this in a text editor and see what's going on.

You do the same with a very simple and small graphic and see how those are stored. I suggest a new document as the editing markup (for undo, etc.) is saved to an extent and will confuse the analysis. Simply change "hello world" to "Hello world" and you'll observe more than just the letter was changed.

All the tags and such, and there are a lot of them, are displayed in a controllable manner. To cheat, I copied the header/footer info to files and insert them appropriately when building the document. Note that the XML generated comes in variants, depending upon the version of Word you have.

You will find these pages are generated very quickly and are usually much smaller than the normal binary format that Word uses for saving files.
