Aaron's instructions should get the reference added to your Workflow script activity, but it's unlikely your script will work because Microsoft doesn't support Office automation in a service context (like Workflow). Office applications assume there is a user present to interact with the UI, and there may be problems loading properly due to the lack of a user profile.

The supported way of creating and modifying Office documents is to use the Open XML SDK.

Hi Jeff,

You will need to enable file browsing and then add the .dll to workflow via the Workflow Admin Console. Reference in admin guide here.

Hi Jeff,

If the assembly is not within the available selection, then yes you would need to download the file. As Miruna said, it might be best to use the Open XML sdk.

Aaron
