Anonymous2021-04-20T05:33:06.497+00:00 Hi @DhananjaySiwach-3715 ,
If you need to read legacy Word documents (doc), you must use interop. But if you use the modern word file format (.docx), you could also try the Open XML SDK for Office.
For your requirements, I think Microsoft.office.interop is best for you.
