Project Description
A Word 2010 Add-in that converts the Office Open XML (WordprocessingML) to XAML:
For WPF, the document is converted into a FlowDocument element.
For Silverlight 4, the document is converted into either a StackPanel element containing TextBlock elements or a RichTextBox.

Usage

1. Add http://xmldocs.net/Word2Xaml to your Trusted Sites List in Internet Explorer.
2. Install the WordToXaml Add-in from http://xmldocs.net/Word2Xaml/setup.exe
3. Start Word; you should see a XAML Tab on the Ribbon Interface
4. Open any document in Word 2010
5. Switch to the XAML Tab and select the appropriate options
6. You can preview the WPF or Silverlight document directly from Word by pressing the Preview button
   1. Previewing the Silverlight XAML opens the XAML in a test Silverlight page running on the file system (You'll need to approve the Silverlight plug-in here). You can then copy the XAML directly from there.
7. From the File menu select Save & Send...XAML Document to save the XAML document to a file

• WPF FlowDocuments can be viewed directy from Windows systems that have .Net 4 installed using Internet Explorer or FireFox browsers
  • A limitation of the browser view for FlowDocuments is that Bitmap Effects like DropShadow will not work in Browsers becasue bitmap effects require a full trust application. Viewing FlowDocuments with Drop Shadows in browsers will cause an error.
• Silverlight StackPanels or RichTextBoxes must be inserted into existing Silverlight applications.
