How do I get Word.Pages?

[vekaz]

Hi,

I need to get text from all pages except page 1 from a word document. I
guess this can be achieved using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Pages. I found
one way to get pages, but that way requires me to activate Word application:

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Pages pages = doc.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.Pages;

Since I have to parse 2000 documents, I'd like to avoid opening Word for
each document. Is there any other way to populate pages?

Thanks in advance

If we're talking Word documents in the *.doc file format then there is no way
for you to read or write (it's not clear which you really mean) to the document
without opening the Word application. These files are an encoded, proprietary
format. It is possible to get the specification, but working with the BIFF is
different than using the object model (Interop.Word). There's a forum for
discussing the Office binary file formats:

Thank you for your reply, Cindy.

I realized using Word.Pages won't help me read the pages, but I found a
solution. Again, thanks for your reply.
