Open XML Tools Index
It's great to see the adoption of Open XML accelerating. The Compatibility Pack for Open XML has been downloaded more than 70 million times*. Countless large organizations have taken that single download and deployed that across their organizations. These numbers continue to improve in favor of Open XML.
There are a number of tools available for manipulating, processing, scanning or otherwise handling Open XML documents. As I read the forums on OpenXMLDeveloper.org, I think I can be of service by providing a list of the tools that I know about today. There may be others, but this will help folks get started who might be looking for an entry point:
Some of the available tools
Open XML Format External File Converter
And a good post about it, MSDN Documentation
Word 2007 Content Control Toolkit
Andrew Coates' Tutorial for it
Office Fluent™ User Interface Customization Tool
Open XML Code Snippets for VS2005
Some of the Articles & Training Content
Open XML Implementer's notes for Office 2007
ODF Implementer's notes for Office 2007
XML in Office Developer Portal
Solution Samples From OpenXMLDeveloper.org
For Python, LINQ, Java, System.IO.Packaging
How do I videos: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
…
There are a few additional tools here: http://www.codeplex.com/site/search?projectSearchText=Open%20XML
If you're looking to understand the nature of Open XML development today, reading the OpenXMLDeveloper forums will give you a great view. I caveat the tools / training with "some of" because everywhere I go, I run into new tools, training, solutions, examples in use by folks for various reasons. Open XML development is a vibrant, active and productive community.
*the count for downloads of the compatibility pack is pessimistic in the sense that not all successful downloads are recorded. The attempted number is well over 120 million… and likely closer to reality in terms of adoption.
