How to read MS Word documents using MFC?

Question

I'm working on a project using VC++/MFC and I need to read data from Word documents. I've Googled, but can't find any viable solutions. How can I get started in this MFC? Any help would be appreciated!

UPDATE: Information I can find on the MS support site and Google is really out-of-date, and I need work with on Word 2003 or 2007.

You may want to consider using the Word Automation Class for VC++/MFC, which is based on the Microsoft Excel Automation Class (a port of AutoXL in the Excel 97 Developer's Kit). It should work for all versions of MS Word (2003/2007 included).
