I"m looking to read the contents of a Word file on an application running on a webserver - without having word installed. Does a native .net solution for this exist?

A: 

There are commercial options too, but that's what OpenXML is all about as long as you are dealing with docx files only. If you need doc files, you will probably need to purchase Aspose's Aspose.Words for .NET.

Aspose makes a paid solution for doing just about anything with any Office format:
