Reading Word Files Using Visual C#

[Kappucino XL]

Hi there.
I've been writing programs, using C#, but have never read a file using c#.(Please believe me).
Now, I've been asked to create a program, that READS a word file, sort the content alphabetically, and print the content...

How do I connect my C# Windows form, to a .doc file?
please help...

If you can guarantee that the end-users machine will have Word installed on it, by far the easiest way would be to add an assembly reference in your project to the Microsoft Word object library and use that to automate Word.

Although it deals more specifically with creating a new Word document, this link will give you some idea on how to connect to a Word document.
