How to read word files in c++;

Very very difficult, but they can be read easily in C# and VB.NET due to the .NET functions that are not available to standard c++. In C++ it's a lot easier to create a CSV text file and let Word import it. Or use Office Automation software.

If they are .docx files, then they are in a pseudo xml format, with parts that are MS proprietary data (binary blobs). You would be able to read simple text and formatting data I think, but linked data, such as images and such are another matter entirely.
