You can use the free word_reader library. Download here http://sourceforge.net/p/word-reader/wiki/Home/
Add a reference to the dll "Code7248.word_reader.dll"
Also add a using Statement as "using Code7248.word_reader;"
To extract text, use:
TextExtractor extractor = new TextExtractor(PathToWordDocument);
string text = extractor.ExtractText(); //The string 'text' is now loaded with the text from the Word Document
