Vista - Serialize WordPad OLE data to a file?

All,

I'm sure that this is possible, however not sure how to approach. Is there a
way of saving binary data of a new/existing Wordpad object?

Example, I'm using a third party product which allows OLE objects (e.g
Wordpad) to be attached to a workspace. Now if I save a workspace to a file,
the application saves the workspace as an XML with references to the OLE
object (serialized ?) data file.

Would there be a way of manually creating these files (serialized COM object)?
Can this object then be re-instantiate from this persisted file?

Your help is appreciated.

Cheers

Karl
