Mike,

Thanks for the suggestion. I cannot see an option to save a Word 2003 file
in 2007 form with Word 2010. I did read a bit about smart tags and was able
to remove the "smart tag-ness" from the problem word ("Mission").
Right-mouse click on the word in Word, at the bottom there is a choice for
"Actions". I was able to disable the additional actions for that word. I
saved the document under a different name and then converted it to Word-2010
format. My code  now is able to read that word. 

I'd still like to know if there is a solution to reading the document with
smarttags in it (in case I run into this "feature" again).

Just a quick question - is it possible when using Word 2010 to save a file
in Word (or Office) 2007 format?

The reason I ask is that Microsoft in their wisdom changed the file formats
again between version 2007 and 2010 and whilst it is safe to say that all
2007 file formats conform to the new 2010 file format the inverse is not the
case. This is a guess but I do wonder if smart tags are one of the new
features and that saving the file so that it conforms to 2007's file format
may clear the issue for you.
