I suggest you to use OpenOffice SDK.
Times ago I successfully tried it.
Isn't simple but you have access to all MS Office formats.

Hi,
You mean I should use some function of openoffice lib?
Or Would you please say it more clear?
Thanksï¼Œ

Yes, assuming that your .doc file originated on Windows in Microsoft Word (The doc extension by itself doesn't tell us enough about what the file content actually is) and you want to do more than just read the bytes, then this will allow you to interpret the content of these files. Code for interpreting Microsoft Word files also exists in the Abiword source and probably KOffice.
