I need to extract the text from a word document (only the text) and transcript the text into a textarea.

  • Just do it. More seriously: what did you try? We won't do your job for you/for free, we help solving bugs. – sjahan Jun 29 '18 at 07:05
  • Salty, but also true though, no offense meant... We help for bugs and specific technical matter, you can't just come and ask "how should I do from scratch": that is the purpose of Google. When you have absolutely no clue, you have to make a little bit of research on your own mate! – sjahan Jun 29 '18 at 07:29
  • You are right, sincerly i've searched too a solution for my problem but i didn't find anything that would fit my project so i asked to this community. I was just to lazy to make a correct formed question. – Gargantua Jun 29 '18 at 07:31

Here is what I would do if I were you!

I would use one of the following libs to read the RTF:

I don't know which one is the best, so you have to test them a bit. They both produce HTML code, with the style matching the original one.

I think you want to get read of that (you mentionned you just want the text), so I would get the generated HTML, I would set it in an hidden div and I would extract only the text with innerText.
