If you want only text contents, try this

require 'win32ole'
word = WIN32OLE.new('word.application')
file = 'c:/work/test.doc'
doc = word.documents.open(file,'ReadOnly' => true)
page = doc.ComputeStatistics(2)       # wdStatisticPages = 2
for i in 1..page
  word.selection.goto(1,1,i)          # wdGoToPage = 1
  word.selection.goto(-1,0,0,'\page') # wdGoToBookmark = -1
  puts "PAGE #{i}"
  puts word.selection.text
end
word.activedocument.close(false)
word.quit
