I am needing to read a Word document into VB.net Windows Application and pull out various headers, styles, and numbering from the document.

This then needs to populate a DataGrid with the information pulled out from the Word document.

Can anybody help ??

Hi
  First you select Microsoft Object library from Reference (This is the COM object).
  After that using the following code for opening the Word document.

Dim appWord As New Word.Application
Dim docWord As New Word.Document

docWord = appWord.Documents.Open("C:\test.doc")

After that you attached the datagrid it is automatically fethed from .doc file.

Hi
I had seen the following code some applications.
Plz check the following code also

Word.Application app = new Word.ApplicationClass();
//Refs to pass to the Open method for parameters we're not interested in.
object nullobj = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;

//Full file path.
object file = @"C:\MyDoc.doc";

Word.Document doc = app.Documents.Open(
ref file, ref nullobj, ref nullobj,
ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj,
ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj,
ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj,
ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj);

//Select and copy text to clipboard.
doc.ActiveWindow.Selection.WholeStory();
doc.ActiveWindow.Selection.Copy();

IDataObject data = Clipboard.GetDataObject();
//Do whatever with the text.
string text = data.GetData(DataFormats.Text).ToString();
Console.WriteLine(text);

//Close doc and shutdown Word application.
doc.Close(ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj);
app.Quit(ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj);
