This is not a simple matter in C++; see https://www.google.com/search?q=word+document+c%2B%2B[^].

You need to follow some of those links and do some research. As I said, reading Word documents in C/C++ is not particularly easy, unless you are familiar with C++/CLI, in which case you can use the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word Namespace[^]

Store what? A word document is just like a book, lots of words separated by punctuation characters. In order to store that as XML you will need to design a set of rules and tags to split the data into logical sets. Each set would probably need some attrinutes, such as font (character set, height, fixed or true-type, bold, italic etc.). Writing the final XML is just a question of using one of the XML libraries available, either Microsoft or third-party.

I'm thinking the easiest way would be to use Office Automation.

I already gave you a link to the Word Interop. You should be able to search MSDN for yourself to find other pages of interest.
