That's because there aren't any tags. WordPerfect uses tags, RTF uses
tags, HTML uses tags, XML uses tags, but Word does *not* use tags.

If you have Word 2003, you can save the document in RTF or in XML (if
you have a valid schema) and you can run your program against that
file. For standard .doc files, forget it.

If you want to know why, use Google to look up the term "compound OLE
document".
