I need a way of generating a word document (from a template or something) and inserting an image at a specific place. Does anyone have any pointers on the best way to do this?
I worked on a project that used Office Automation in .NET 1.1 a few years ago, and it was really unspeakably poor. I’m assuming OA has either been improved or been superceeded by a better solution, but I’m not finding much advice on google.
Edit to clarify, this will be running on a web or sharepoint server
Alternatively, and if you do not need to generate word documents that will work with versions prior to Word 2007, you could use the OpenXML SDK to create your Word Document. It’s all managed code and way easier in my opinion to use than OA.
