Answer 1

Being new to this myself, here's what I did:

I'm using MS Visual Studio 2010 Pro.

1. Download and install the OpenXML SDK
2. Within my project in Visual Studio, select "Project" then "Add Reference"
3. Select the "Browse" tab
4. In the "Look in:" pull down, navigate to: C:\Program Files(x86)\Open XML SDK\V2.0\lib and select the "DocumentFormat.OpenXml.dll
5. Hit OK
6. In the "Solution Explorer" (on the right for me), the "References" folder now shows the DocumentFormat.OpenXML library.
7. Right-click on it and select Properties
8. In the Properties panel, change "Copy Local" to "True".

You should be off and running now using the DocumentFormat classes.

Answer 2

You should also ensure you set a reference to WindowsBase. This is required to use the SDK as it handles System.IO.Packaging (which is used for unzipping and opening the compressed .docx/.xlsx/.pptx as an OPC document).

Answer 3

select DocumentFormat.OpenXml under references , view it's properties, and set the Copy Local option to True so that it copies it to the output folder. That worked for me.
