PSWriteWord - PowerShell Module

PSWriteWord is PowerShell module to create Microsoft Word documents without Microsoft Word installed. You can read some more information on my website.

Example usage of Add-WordTable / Add-WordText in action

Requirements

• Works only on Windows (as NET CORE is not supported by DLL) - until Xceed ads that to their version. Which will take a while for the free version to have (if ever).
• Works only on PowerShell 5.1

Credits

This module is based on DocX from Xceed Software (https://github.com/xceedsoftware/DocX). DocX is the free, open source version of Xceed Words for .NET. Originally written by Cathal Coffey, and maintained by Przemyslaw Klys (me), it is now maintained by Xceed. This also means any bugs / issues with C# version of it will be available in PSWriteWord. On the other hand since Xceed releases new versions of DocX (just a few versions behind the pay version) it means eventually PSWriteWord will get even more features. This also means that if something is not yet available in commands that are listed below or are incomplete you can take the .net approach and simply use it that way.
