Default Generate QR Code in Word 2010

Hi all,

I was assigned to a task where I must generate a QR code for a given string on a word template (.dotx). This is consumed inside C# by opening the word shell and sending an XML in order to fulfill the word template.

The point is that the license is Office 2010... not pretty sure what can I achieve. I've read that
- I can install a custom font, but since word is letter based, then each letter will have its QR code
- I can't achieve this at all on word 2010
- I can achieve it if I use an external API (such as Google) and embeb the image inside my word template

My doubt here is what can I do exactly. Am I able to generate out of the box qr codes inside my word template? I would like to go to a solution that didn't imply calling external APIs, the QR code represents som sensitive/legal information...

Another question, If we moved forward to Office 2013, could we overcome this situation?

Thank you very much
