Low level answer: DOCX files are OPC (Open Packaging Conventions) format (zip files with a manifest) and can be opened with the classes available in the System.IO.Packaging namespace.

High level answer: DocX is an opensource framework that supports manipulating DOCX files using higher level constructs.

You would use the Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library

If you're able to read the file as XML then may be you could apply some XPATH queries to get the info you need.

The format of DOCX is well documented. To read the packages, you can use the classes from the System.IO.Packaging namespace.
