How to open a Word template located in a project resource (*.resx)?
Goodnight!
I'm making a program that opens a Word template (*.dotx) and inserts values into it. In order not to carry the Word template with me, I decided to add it to the project resources (* .resx). But how to open it?
Below is a piece of code for opening a Word template ( peeped here ), in which "templatePathObj" is the path to the template. What to do if the template is in the project resource (*.resx)?
using Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
using System.Reflection;
Object missingObj = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
Object trueObj = true;
Object falseObj = false;
Word.Application application = new Word.Application();
Word.Document document = application.Documents.Add(ref templatePathObj, ref missingObj, ref missingObj, ref missingObj)

Look for alternative template generating libraries that don't require the template to exist as a separate file on disk.
For example, Open XML SDK
The template from the resources must be saved somewhere on disk, for example, in a temporary folder, and the temporary path must be specified.
If you use the Open XML SDK instead of the COM library to work with Word, you can use the Open method that takes a stream as an argument:

Otherwise , as already mentioned, only saving the template to a temporary folder will help.
