How to read a line from Ms Word

I want to read Ms Word file line by line. Is there any way other than Paragraph & Word to select range. Can i select range in MS word line by line.

for eg. inplace of following code can i use "Line" in place of "paragraph"????
'**********
with MSWD

'Set trange = .Range(Start:=.Paragraphs(3).Range.Start, End:=.Paragraphs(3).Range.End)

end with
'**************
if not tell me how Ms word recognises When Paragraph has started & when ended????

I am really willing to know

thanks in advance

Word does not contain a "Line" object. The Selection object of the Word
application contains a "measurement" Unit of wdLine, but it's not available
to the Range object. The following code opens a document, and then moves
line by line using the Selection object. The text of each line is set into
a string that you can manipulate; here, it's printed to the Immediate
window. Note that you will have to set up strDoc - the file path and name
of your Word doc - for yourself.

Sub TestReadWord()

Dim appWD As Word.Application
Dim docWD As Word.Document
Dim rngWD As Word.Range
Dim strDoc As String
Dim strLine As String
Dim bolEOF As Boolean

bolEOF = False

' Set strDoc here to include the full
' file path and file name

On Error Resume Next
Set appWD = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Set appWD = CreateObject("Word.Application")
End If
Err.Clear
On Error GoTo 0

Set docWD = appWD.Documents.Open(strDoc)
appWD.Visible = True

docWD.Characters(1).Select

Do
appWD.Selection.MoveEnd Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
strLine = appWD.Selection.Text
Debug.Print strLine
appWD.Selection.Collapse wdCollapseEnd

If appWD.Selection.Bookmarks.Exists("\EndOfDoc") Then bolEOF = True
Loop Until bolEOF = True


docWD.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges
Set docWD = Nothing
appWD.Quit
Set appWD = Nothing

End Sub
