How to read a msword file in ASP

[arcware]

Hi,
I need to make a keyword search in a folder containing word files. Since Word files are not plain text files, The filesystemObject is not doing the work. It is also not possible to use createobject("Word.Application") since office automation is not possible on my server. Can anyone tell me some other way to perform the task?

Thanks in advance

Word.Application is the best way. If u cant install winword on the server, maybe can download and parse all files, then upload results
