Office word interop

[pdbowling]

Hello, All.

In word you can SaveAs and at the bottom of the dialog box you can choose different formats. I'd like to save as a plain text file but using C Sharp code. Below is the code I have that is opening the file, but that save as a plain text syntax is eluding me.

I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word 12 assembly.

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass word = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass();

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document doc = new 
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document();

object nullobj = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;

object fileNme = fileName;//fileName passed to function

doc = word.Documents.Open(ref fileNme, ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj, ref nullobj);

word.Visible = false;

Is anyone clear on the syntax for doing this?
Thanks, everyone.

if you want to create a plain text document you don't need MS Word.

use the objects in the System.IO namespace. there are a variety of ways to create text files.

If I understand the OP correctly, he wants to open an existing .doc file and convert it to plain text. Are there ways of using the System.IO namespace to get the contents of a .doc file as the source stream?
