I"m looking to read the contents of a Word file on an application running on a webserver - without having word installed. Does a native .net solution for this exist?

i have used several SDK, for now, the best is Aspose.words, the openxml sdk 2.5 is also a nice choice, but the api is too low, so if you use openxml sdk that means will be writing more code, and remenber user openxml sdk tool together, it is a nice tool can make coding simple. you can look this video for a overview: how to use openxml sdk tool

another choice: GemBox.Document, a commercial option, cheaper than aspose.words.

There are commercial options too, but that's what OpenXML is all about as long as you are dealing with docx files only. If you need doc files, you will probably need to purchase Aspose's Aspose.Words for .NET.
