Is it possible to use the Open XML sdk to manipulate parts of document which is currently open in the Office app (word/ppt). I know the easiest thing is to use VSTO, but its slow and would involve clipboard use to insert elements, the OXML sdk is direct and simpler.
If somebody could post some code sample that would be great.
Thanks in advance

Apparently you cannot do this without Sharepoint.
As per Zeyad Jarabi/..
...you need a platform that understands how to take a shared lock (like SharePoint or SkyDrive). Without this concept then the application and the SDK can only take read or write locks, which prevents these two pieces of technology from accessing the same file.
