What color text

[generaldave]

I'm going to try to explain this without sounding like a total idiot. I'm not even sure if this is the language for this. If not and someone could point me in the direction of a better language, please feel free.

Lets say I have a word document, somthing.docx. This document includes text of varying colors. What I am trying to figure out is if there is a way of 'detecting' what color each word is. I would like the output be a txt file, which stores the text and description of formatting, which I can easily do myself. I really just have no idea how to figure out what color the text is, programmatically.

Thanks for any help,
~Dave

I think this would require you to know the file format of docx files.

Or do this and parse the relevant xml file.

An Office Open XML file is a ZIP-compatible OPC package containing XML documents and other resources. That is, one can see the contents of an OOXML file, for example by renaming it to a .zip file and opening it with any zip tool. The actual .xml files can then be viewed in a web browser or a plain text editor.
