A .doc file means that you need to use the MS Word VIs which are available only with the Report GEneration toolkit.

Or, you should use ActiveX to read your .doc file.

Hi Vamsi,

This is a doubt-clearing forum, NOT a code-getting forum.

You first try to search the LabVIEW Example Finder on how to read a .doc file.

Also, read about using ActiveX in LabVIEW. Excel & Word files can be read & write only thro' 2 methods I had already mentioed, either you should have RG toolkit installed along with your LabVIEW or you should use ActiveX.

How's this?  Word doc in --> Word doc out!

Hi Vamsi,

See the attached VI on using ActiveX to open the MS Word Application in LabVIEW & read a .doc file.

Once we read its text, then it is child's play to convert it to .txt file.

Vamsi,

I have not taken enough care to look & close all the references concerned. You need to do that to eliminate some bizzare things that may happen out of these when integrated in a bigger application as a subroutine.
