Someone else already told you, that you must create a parameterless
method (it need not necessary be named "PrincipiaSearchSource")
that returns the files content.

You may not need to keep the rendered version around but
may be able to extract the plain text on demand.
I think, there is a "word.dll" that provides access to
MS Word from applications. Alternatively, you could
control Word via COM.
