Image support

[villains]

I would be interested in the ability to work with images in a Word .docx file.

Examples:

• Insert a new PNG or JPG (or other) image in the document
• Access image data in a document as an array of bytes
• Methods for identifying the image format or file type

This feature would be useful when generating reports from C++ software, where charts, maps or other kinds of figures are required.

To do this currently, it's necessary to jump through a lot of hoops involving writing temporary files in an intermediate format (e.g. HTML) and then invoking external executables to handle the conversion to docx. This is a massive pain. It would be much better to be able to do this entirely within C++ code.

Hi, I'm also interested in inserting an image in a docx.
I try it by myself, but I can't. Please, when can you do this?
