"I get that digging is not your cup of tea". You are wrong: We have searched for a solution for months, and so, too, has a specialized company we employed for assistance. My question is kind of a last resort; it reads: "Does anybody know ...". I understand that you do not know it, either.

@Gerry Schmitz: "Easy" is not the issue. But a solution must be (1) reliable and (2) feasible with reasonable effort.

Serialization: .Text is not an option: It cannot contain e.g. the mentioned images. XML is an option, as mentioned, but .WordOpenXML doesn't work reliably. What alternatives can you suggest to serialize any whatsoever Word contents? [That's been part of my original question :-) ]

"And parse them again at run time": In XML or in the object model? The object model is not the problem. Analyzing and modifying the XML, however, is an unreasonable effort from our point of view.

By the way: I haven't got why you mentioned RTBs here. I can't see how they could help in a VSTO document-level customization.

@Gerry Schmitz: This does not work that "easily". Corrections are too late at the time of reloading because then I do not have the original anymore and don't know whether, e.g., I have to add a paragraph, or how else to correct the memorized contents. So the XML has to be corrected already at the time of reading the XML. Do you really want to suggest that I (1) analyze the XML returned by WordOpenXML and (2) add e.g. the missing image (example 2) myself if it is missing? I guess you can imagine that this nearly means that I would have to develop another version of Word myself ...
