you can utilize docx read/manipulate word documents no dependencies on office or interop.

find docx here

the project owner, cathal coffey posts on various docx topics here

i did quick , dirty "get started" type article on using docx here

it should relatively simple utilize docx pull text our of word doc , save plain .txt file.

i don't post links in answer. in case, however, since pointing alternative tool job done, seems appropriate.
