I made an Excel file with data on tab 2, and a chart on tab 1. This is for a web-portal where investors can download the excel document with ubber graphics and the like, but with their data. So, the 'simple' fix in my mind is to save the Excel document as "OOXML" and just replace the data items. However, it seems that the document is en...

I want to open encrypted OOXML files, which are stored as streams inside a compound OLE file. Microsoft has an API for OOXML, (OOXML Format SDK 2.0, but it seems to lack a way to manipulate encrypted OOXML documents. So, this breaks into two questions.

Doing this on the desktop with traditional VBA seems like it would have been easy. Looking at the WordprocessingML XML data used to create the docx file is confusing. Is there a way (without COM) to nav...

OOXML files are really a collection of XML and text files in a zip container, which means that I cannot use the file's magic number as it will just indicate that it is a zip file. So what I'm really askin...
