In this tutorial, we explore how to read Word documents using Iron Word in C#. The process begins with ensuring Iron Word is installed via NuGet in your C# console application. After installation, open your program.cs file and use the Iron Word library to create an instance of a Word document class. By specifying the document's path, you initialize an object representing the loaded Word document.

The tutorial then guides you through reading the content by iterating through paragraphs and text runs within the document. This involves traversing each paragraph and nested text run, retrieving the text content, and displaying it on the console. Additionally, it shows how to save any changes to a new file using the save-as method.

Upon running the program, you will see the Word document's contents displayed on the console, demonstrating successful implementation. The tutorial emphasizes the breadth of functionalities Iron Word offers beyond reading documents, encouraging further exploration.
