- 1. You should post such a question in the comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.*
- hierarchy.
- 2. You should avoid to massively cross post articles.
- 3. The Word file format is rather complicated. It uses OLE2's
- structured storages (or compound files) to store the various
- document parts (summary, text, ...). Get the following
- book for more information: "Using OLE 2.x in application
- development", John Toohey, QUE, ISBN 1-56529-991-4. There
- is a chapter showing how one can retrieve information
- from Word files.
