Hi,

If you search for win32::ole you will find some useful information (for example).

The code would look like this: 

#!/bin/perl5

use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;

my $w = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Word.Application');
my $d = $w->ActiveDocument;
my $paras = $d->Paragraphs;

foreach my $para ( in $paras ) {
  my $style = $para->Style->{ NameLocal };
  my $text =  $para->Range->{ text };
  print "$style\t$text\n"
}

This assumes that Word is open with an open document.

If you're familiar with VBA methods it is fairly easy to work out the perl syntax. The best reference is the VBA help file.

The win32::ole docs also have some examples.

Hope this helps, wfsp
