Aspose is an excellent product and I have used it for a prod Hi, Aspose is an excellent product and I have used it for a production .NET project with good results. Some developers also like Microsoft Interop PIA (Primary Interop Assemblies).

I had to do the same thing except it was in rtf format. I spent close to 6 months trying to figure out the rtf format and dynamically get what I wanted. After many headaches and long hours, a co-worker, 6 months too late, suggested that I check out the Aspose.Word control. I used it and had it implemented and working withing a week. There are different features in the Aspose.Word control, it does pretty much everything WORD does. Check it out here: http://www.aspose.com/Products/Aspose.Word/Default.aspx Not sure if it will meet your needs or not. Just when someone mentions messing with WORD and Automation I always try to suggest this control because its a lot easier to work with. Just my two cents.

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.
