Question

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out a good way to embed any file into Microsoft Word using OpenXml 2.0; Office documents are fairly easy but what about other file typ

Answer 1

This is a great answer and it helped me a lot, but the potential bug that user bic mentioned also exists

in

OpenXmlEmbeddedObject(FileInfo fileInfo, bool displayAsIcon)

at line 242,

_filePathAndName = fileInfo.ToString();

in

SetupOleFileInformation()

at line 264,

 object objectFilename = _fileInfo.ToString();

line 289, and

Image image = Image.FromFile(_fileInfo.ToString());

line 293

wordDocument.InlineShapes.AddPicture(_fileInfo.toString(), ref _objectMissing, ref _objectTrue, ref _objectMissing);

All of these need to be "FullName" instead of "ToString()" if the code should work with relative paths as well. Hope this helps anyone who wants to use D Lyonnais's code!
