Open XML SDK: How to get a valid Word document for WordprocessingDocument.Open

Question

For unit testing purposes, I would like to generate some sample data to be stored as a stream in the dataToImport variable in the following statement:

WordprocessingDocument.Open(dataToImport, false);

Does anyone know how to create a decent set of sample data?

You could potentially use something like the following:

using (WordprocessingDocument wpd = WordprocessingDocument.Open(filename, false) 
{
    wpd.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body.Append(GenerateParagraph(...text ...);
}


private Paragraph GenerateParagraph(string input) 
{
    Paragraph paragraph1 = new Paragraph();
    Run run1 = new Run();
    Break break1 = new Break() { Type = BreakValues.Page };
    Text txt = new Text() { Space = SpaceProcessingModeValues.Preserve };
    txt.Text = input;
    run1.Append(break1);
    run1.Append(txt);
    paragraph1.Append(run1);
    return paragraph1;

}

The value of the ...text... itself could come from any file using FileInputStream objects.

Hope it helps!
