Metro Style Apps- MS Office libraries

I was trying to read/write MS word documents in a metro style app (C#,xaml), but it seems that metro apps do not support Office libraries. Is it possible to achieve this in metro apps? Some work around? Thanks

Take a look a ASPOSE for Word: http://asposewords.codeplex.com/

It is a class library that enables your applications to perform a great range of document processing tasks. Aspose.Words supports DOC, DOCX, RTF, HTML, OpenDocument, PDF, XPS, EPUB and other formats. With Aspose.Words you can generate, modify, convert, render and print documents without utilizing Microsoft Word.

There is an OpenXML SDK in CTP, but 

Open XML SDK 2.5 CTP does not support “.NET APIs for Metro style apps”

There's no statement one way or the other on support at release.

Under the covers the Word document is all XML though and the Windows.Data.Xml.Dom namespace is available - granted a lot more work than a convenient object model.

You may be able to work something out by using the SkyDrive API, but I don't believe that this is currently possible.
