    <p>I'm assuming you're referring to WordPad, which is also included with Windows, rather than Notepad. WordPad, in addition to showing basic text files, also knows to parse and edit Word files (.DOCX, but oddly enough not the older .DOC files), Rich Text Format files (.RTF), and OpenOffice documents (*.ODT). This doesn't come freely just by opening the Word file and displaying its content - there is a lot of code inside WordPad to parse this binary data and display it properly, not to mention the code to edit and save it again. </p> <p>If you need to retrieve the data from Word files, there are several programmatic options, starting with automating the Word application itself using the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee861527%28v=office.14%29" rel="nofollow">Word APIs</a>. However, this solution is problematic for running on a server, or if you need to open them where there is no Word installed.</p> <p>In this case you also have several options. For post-2007 documents with the .DOCX extension, you can use the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.packaging.aspx" rel="nofollow">System.IO.Packaging</a> namespace to open the DOCX and extract its relevant parts, but it's up to you to understand the syntax of the XML files within. Alternately, you can purchase a third-party library that does it for you, such as <a href="http://www.aspose.com/.net/word-component.aspx" rel="nofollow">Aspose</a>, which I've worked with and were fine. There are others out there too.</p>
