Solution

  • No. You can get DocumentFormat.OpenXml.dll from the Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office. The download is here.

    The Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll assembly is a COM interop assembly. It is automatically generated when you use Project + Add Reference and select Microsoft Word from the COM tab. That won't happen when you've got the Office PIA installed, that's okay.
