I need the office tools for VS forum.

Hello All,

(the set up) It could be that what follow is all the result of my inexperience. You know "To a simple mind, it is a simple matter", but I'm willing to risk the humiliation because the need is great and my quest well intended. So here I go, sticking my foot in it again.


I'm developing a training application using .net 3.0 foundations. Inherently there are many documents to be created, retrieved, animated and annotated.(To be as brief as possible)

1. I can't count on my clients having office installed on their computers.

2. I want to use word to create and store the document in my native format .xaml

Imagine the ease with which I could develop, create a word .DocXaml and load it directly into my fixed document viewer, and I'm smiling.

As long as I'm getting everything I ever wished for, I would like to drag and drop my PowerPoint demos into my programand have a small spreadsheet analyze their progress.

Its "Office tools for Visual Studio", you can hire a whole new division.

What do you think? Am I crazy or what?
