Read from word document line by line

I'm trying to read a word document using C#. I am able to get all text but I want to be able to read line by line and store in a list and bind to a gridview. Currently my code returns a list of one item only with all text (not line by line as desired). I'm using the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word library to read the file. Below is my code till now:

Application word = new Application();

Document doc = new Document();

object fileName = path;

// Define an object to pass to the API for missing parameters

object missing = System.Type.Missing;

doc = word.Documents.Open(ref fileName,

ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,

ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);

String read = string.Empty;

List<string> data = new List<string>();

foreach (Range tmpRange in doc.StoryRanges)

{

//read += tmpRange.Text + "<br>";

data.Add(tmpRange.Text);

}

((_Document)doc).Close();

((_Application)word).Quit();

GridView1.DataSource = data;

GridView1.DataBind();

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
