Hi,

Where are the labels in your document?

The location is important.

One approach is this CodeProject's article:

Another approach is this article about opening and reading word documents in C#. This one uses a word processing library for C#.

If you can use Interop, have a look at Document.Words Property [^]. That would list all the words found in a document as a collection.
