Answer 1

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 2

Goto Nuget Package manager and search for openxml. And install DocumentFormat.OpenXml

Answer 3

You need to have DocumentFormat.OpenXML.dll in the same folder as your application - or in the 'bin' path if you are developing an ASP.NET application. However, I'm not certain that the OpenXML SDK is supported on non-Windows operating systems - you may need to look into a third-party solution.

Yes, this answer is right, the only difference is that you copy your .dll into bin folder of the project.

Answer 4

After viewing and changed the properties to DocumentFormat.OpenXml, I also had to change the Specific Version to false.
