Open XML Package Editor Power Tool for Visual Studio

This Power Tool is a Visual Studio add-in that provides an easy way to parse and edit Open Packaging Conventions files, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Visio documents. This Power Tool enables you to do the following tasks:

  • Open any Open XML Package file or XPS Package file directly in Visual Studio 2010, 2012 or 2013
  • Browse the contents of Package files in a tree view
  • Open any XML part directly in Visual Studio's rich XML editor
  • Add or remove parts and relationships directly in the user interface
  • Import and export part contents to and from files
  • Detect when a Package file that is opened in Visual Studio is modified externally. The Power Tool prompts the user to reload the file without having to close any open XML part editors
  • Create new Office Packages from a set of templates using Visual Studio's File > New dialog

This Power Tool has been released by Microsoft as an open source software project. Full source code is available on GitHub athttps://github.com/OfficeDev/Open-XML-Package-Editor-Power-Tool-for-Visual-Studio.
