Filter for binary MS-Word files (*.doc)

[FMAS]

Hi,

This is a question from a non programmer. Is there a control in C# to
read MS-Word binary files directly and get not only the text but also
formatting information (font, character size, bookmarks, templates
etc.)? In the application I am currently using, this is done via a RTF
conversion, but this leads to very large file and causes a few other
problems.

Well, if MS Office, or just Word is installed on the client, you could use
the Interop assemblies for accessing the functionality of Word.
