I'm trying to read a Word document as text data and I cannot find an easy
way to handle this in .Net 2003.  If there is some way to convert it to a
text file, then just open and process the text file, that would work much
better than having to deal with the Word document.

All that is required is that I can read the data into a string as text data.
I do not care about any of the formatting or styles... just the text.

What I am doing is mining some data out of a Word document.  The Word
document is a form that someone created, so I can depend on the text data
and I am able to parse the text to capture the data that I need.  It works
fine in a text file, but I cannot get to the text data within Word.

I've built Word documents from within .Net and saved them, but I do not
recall ever opening a word document and pulling the text out.  So this is
new to me.

I think my problem is that when I do a search for this on Google, MSDN, etc.
That there are just too many Word/.Net matches and I am not able to find
what I need.  If anyone has any ideas on how to find what I am looking for,
I am open to ideas.

Any ideas, suggestions, or sample code would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
jrothlander
