Wait for some time and WinFS Promoter will discover your file and schematize
it, determining it as a System.Storage.Documents.Document item.

Re: How to start adding word and image files

You can copy files directly into WinFS. As Daniel stated in his response,
Word files should appear as items of type Document; JPG files will appear as
type Image.Photo. They may initially appear as Generic File as the
promotion process is asynchronous and there may be a small delay in
converting the file to the appropriate type.

To get non-file data into WinFS you will need to write some code. If you
simply want to import the data you will need to obtain the data from
whatever store it is currently in using the appropriate API, map it onto
WinFS schema and use the WinFS API to create the items in WinFS.

If you want to keep the data in WinFS in sync with the data in the other
store (e.g. Outlook) then you should write a sync adapter instead of an
importer. You can find a sample sync adapter and further help on WinFS Sync
in the Beta 1 SDK documentation.

Hope that helps.

Regards, Mark
