Use XSLT 2.0 to display an image from a directory

Question

Team,

I'm using XLST 2.0 to create MS Word documents from XML data. I'm working on creating a header and want to call in image file from a local directory to display our company logo. With the software I'm using, I am unable to use an MS Word Template to call. This is billing software and needs to create each MS word document on the fly each time a bill (using XML data) get's thrown at it.

I've searched this site extensively and tried a majority of the examples given to no avail. Any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the result of the header in the MS Word doc I want to create...

Here is my XSL for the header...

Answer 1

Figured this one out on my own. Here's what I did.

I created a DOCX file with just the image in the body of document. I then created a bookmark with the image highlighted and named the bookmark "logo". I saved the DOCX file to C:\images\logo_template.docx

I then went into my XSLT file and called the DOCX file pointing to the bookmark as follows:

<w:p>
  <w:r>
    <w:t>
      ~INS~<xsl:value-of select"'C:\images\logo_template.docx|logo'" />~/INS~
    </w:t>
  </w:r>
</w:t>

This tossed the image file into the generated MS Word file I'm compiling from my bill generating software.
