Reading *.doc files without Word opening

[Op's answer]: Well, Word document includes text symbols and formatting symbols. I try to separate first from other witout using standard office functions (it is faster). Really, Word does the same - processes text symbols and formats them.

I will give you an idea:
If you really want to read only*.doc files, then my idea is of no good.
But if you are undecided and want to read something formatted in a doc style, you can re-save the doc file in a *.docx which is basically an archive that you can unzip it, then search the file containing the formatted text in that unzipped folder. If I remember well, is called [document.xml]. From that xml you can extract the text unformatted or whatever you like.
Good luck.
