My question is simple, I want to read a line from a Word doc and print it. The stuff I need runs from Ln 39 Col 43 to Ln 39 Col 46. I have tried everything and I have been searching the web for days... please help! =D

Here is the code I have so far: 
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Word';

$file = "c:\\C-212\\200539061_D.doc";
$new_file = "c:\\C-212\\200539061_D.txt";
$WordObj = Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application', 'Quit') or die "Couldn'
+t
run Word";
$wd = $WordObj->Documents->Open($file);

$WordObj->ActiveDocument->SaveAs({
        FileName => $new_file,
        FileFormat =>wdFormatText,
    });
$wd->Close();
$WordObj->exit;
