reading content from Word and TIF documents

Question

I need to read content from Word and TIF documents into a textbox (or something similar) in my form. I'm navigating my dataset that contains the file name and path and that's working great. Now, I need to read the content of the file(s) so that it can be displayed from within my form. I've used the Word.applicationclass - using word to display the documents. It doesn't display TIF content correctly and i'd rather use my form where I have NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons to navigate the table involved. Thanks! D
