Then you need to do one of the following.

1. Obtain details of the Word Binary File Format. This is not published, but
is provided by Microsoft to certain selected partners.

2. Save the document as XML or RTF, and read the data from converted files.
Both the XML and RTF file formats have been published.

if you need more than this, you need to ask Microsoft for the binary file
format.
