Actually i want to read some particular content from word document using openxml. I've tried the below code for reading the document first. but i'm getting "file contains corrupted data".
Is anyone came across openxml word document requirement. Kindly let me have a sample code. Thanks in advance.

What I have tried:

C#
 public void main..
    {
        
            string path = "";
            path = path + "D:\\OpenXml_Word\\Test_Docx.doc";
            SearchWordIsMatched(path);
        
    }


public void SearchWordIsMatched(string path)
    {
        try
        {
            using (WordprocessingDocument wordDoc = WordprocessingDocument.Open(path, true))
            {
                Stream stream = File.Open(path, FileMode.Open);
                Body body = wordDoc.MainDocumentPart.Document.Body;
                string content = body.InnerText;

            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            throw ex;

Hi jose,
Thanks for the response.

I'm getting "The specified package is invalid. The main part is missing." error in this part of the code

using (WordprocessingDocument wordDocument =
WordprocessingDocument.Open(filepath, false))

My input file format is .docx

Kindly suggest
Open XML Formats and file name extensions - Office Support[^]

OpenXML will not work with doc format but with docx format. So if you are trying with doc format then first change it extension using below method

]public void ConvertDocToDocx(string path)
{
Application word = new Application();

if (path.ToLower().EndsWith(".doc"))
{
var sourceFile = new FileInfo(path);
var document = word.Documents.Open(sourceFile.FullName);

string newFileName = sourceFile.FullName.Replace(".doc", ".docx");
document.SaveAs2(newFileName, WdSaveFormat.wdFormatXMLDocument,
CompatibilityMode: WdCompatibilityMode.wdWord2010);

word.ActiveDocument.Close();
word.Quit();

File.Delete(path);
}
}

Now OpenXML will parse your data along with some JUNK Numbers which we cannot get rid of. But we can do verification that our data exists.

So, you have to use code using Word Interop to resave the file in a new format just so you avoid using Word Interop to process the new file?
