I believe you are correct that the DOCX files are just compressed (zipped I
think) xml files. You can also have users save files as straight XML in the
Save As options.

You may also be able to use some sort of library like XCEED to unzip the
contents automatically in your program.

Unfortunately, there is no automatic handling in MFC that I know of...

You may find this article interesting. It's C#, but could be adapted to
C++.

Hi,

Does VC++ (MFC or ATL) provide any support to create/ read DOCX files?
Ideally, I would like to do it without having to extract the contents of
the
DOCX file using a ZIP program. I'm looking for the kind of support
provided
in .NET in the System.IO.Packaging namespace.

I currently have VS2005, but can move to the latest version(VS 2008) if
need
be. Also, are there any third-party tools etc. that I can use for this?

TIA,
JY
