Answer 1

I did a bit of research into this recently and found there has been a lot of work with regards to working with Microsoft Office with C#. The 'Open XML SDK Productivity Tool for Office' is amazing. You can open Office docs and look at all the C# to generate a document.

The Open XML SDK 2.5 for Microsoft Office tools package contains the Open XML SDK v2.5 Productivity Tool for Office and the hyperlink to documentation for the Open XML SDK 2.5. The Open XML SDK 2.5 Productivity Tool for Microsoft Office provides a number of features designed to improve your productivity and accelerate your learning while working with the SDK and Open XML files. Features include the ability to generate Open XML SDK 2.5 source code based on document content, compare source and target Open XML documents to reveal differences and to generate source code to create the target from the source, validate documents, and display documentation for the Open XML SDK 2.5 Classes, the ECMA376v1 standard, and the Microsoft Office implementation notes.
