## Examples



Shows how to load the contents of a Microsoft Word document in plaintext. 
```cpp
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::Document>();
auto builder = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::DocumentBuilder>(doc);
builder->Writeln(u"Hello world!");

doc->Save(get_ArtifactsDir() + u"PlainTextDocument.Load.docx");

auto plaintext = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::PlainTextDocument>(get_ArtifactsDir() + u"PlainTextDocument.Load.docx");

ASSERT_EQ(u"Hello world!", plaintext->get_Text().Trim());
```
