Default Extracting text from a word document

I would like to know if there is a general thing that tells where the text
can be found in a word document, so I can extract it automaticly with
another program. All I need is the text, pictures and other stuff, I dont
want to extract.

if I open a word document in notepad, I can see that all the text is placed
in order, but I cant see a common factor between more word documents, which
tells me where the text starts.

Anyone who know anything that could help me in my search?

Save the document in Word as plain text - all the 'other stuff' will be
eliminated.
