Here, I am going to share how we can read
paragraphs from a Microsoft Word Documnet using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
DLL.
1. Add reference of Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word DLL into your project
2. With the help of following class, we can read a specific paragraph of a MS
Word Document.
class
WordDocReader
{
//To read paragraph contents of a Word
document using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word DLL
public string ReadFileContent(string
path, int paraGraphNum)
{
int i = 0;
StringBuilder sb =
new StringBuilder();
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass wordApp =
new ApplicationClass();
object file = path;
object nullobj = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document doc = wordApp.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);
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Paragraphs DocPar = doc.Paragraphs;
// Count number of paragraphs in the
file
long parCount = DocPar.Count;
//
Step through the paragraphs
while (i < parCount)
{
i++;
if (i == paraGraphNum)
{
sb.Append(DocPar[i].Range.Text);
break;
}
}
doc.Close(ref
nullobj, ref nullobj,
ref nullobj);
wordApp.Quit(ref
nullobj, ref nullobj,
ref nullobj);
return (sb.ToString());
}
}
