I am trying to retrieve data from tables in .doc to .csv files programmatically using C#. Due to few conditions, i cannot install Microsoft office on the client machine . Is there any other way to accomplish this as Microsoft PIA wont work without Office being installed.

  • If you were using DOCX files, rather than DOC files, you could use the [Open XML SDK](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb448854.aspx). This is a very thin wrapper around the XML format of OOXML files, so is pretty low-level. However, it only works with DOCX files. – RB. Jan 12 '16 at 13:49
  • Aspose also produce a product that will do what you want, but it's a few thousand dollars. – RB. Jan 12 '16 at 13:56

Take a look to NPOI library, which can help you read/write xls, doc, ppt files. It does not have a dependency to Office.

An alternative could be also NetOffice.
