      Pretty damn hard. The Word file format isn't offically documented. You might want to have a look at some of the open source Office products as they claim to be able to read Word files. If you Word document is saved as RTF, then the job is a little easier as RTF is at least documented by Microsoft. Michael :-)

          You can use the Rich Text Object Classes, This Classes supports Word Docs, You can Save in 6.0 Word Format and read word docs... Is a simple solution. Other solution is that you save the docs in RTF format from the MS Word.... Regards... Carlos Antollini. Sonork ID 100.10529 cantollini

            You might want to have a look at AbiWord. It's a multi-platform free software word processor that can read quite a few document formats, including MS Word (I think it's from V.5 and onwards). It's GPL so it comes with complete source.
