A bit of a simpler solution.

Pseudo code:

• Grab the page count.
• For each page:
  • Find the characters between this pages last character index and the last pages last character index.

Implementation:

    /// 

    /// Reads each page of the word document into a string and returns the list of the page strings.
    /// 
    public static IEnumerable ReadPages(string filePath)
    {
        ICollection pageStrings = new List();
        Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
        Document doc = app.Documents.Open(filePath);

        long pageCount = doc.ComputeStatistics(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdStatistic.wdStatisticPages);
        int lastPageEnd = 0; // The document starts at 0.
        for ( long i = 0; i < pageCount; i++)
        {
            // The "range" of the page break. This actually is a range of 0 elements, both start and end are the 
            // location of the page break.
            Range pageBreakRange = app.Selection.GoToNext(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToPage);
            string currentPageText = doc.Range(lastPageEnd, pageBreakRange.End).Text;
            lastPageEnd = pageBreakRange.End;
            pageStrings.Add(currentPageText);
        }
        return pageStrings;
    }
