Programmatically Open the word file, then use the Save As method and then choose Plain Text. Now you read this text file via Memoread and do whatever you want.

Another way is to read the entire text contents of a word document to a memory variable and then use it as per your requirement

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN
// Read the text contents into the TextContents variable
cTextContents = oWordDoc:Content:Text
