I am new to Universal Windows Platform, just created a UWP project to get familiar with the stack and I'm looking to read the contents of .doc / .docx document.

I haven't found any namespace associated with Office, I've found a few libraries on NuGet, but they are incompatible with UWP.

Could you please suggest a way to go about reading a word document?

    For MS Word document, especially the version after 2007, it uses Open-XML-SDK and currently it doesn't support UWP platform. You can try to find a free service for this, or using the method in the answer provided by @Bart, but all these methods needs internet support. – Grace Feng Nov 21 '16 at 05:24
