Using the layout you are showing:
1) Read the file
2) Split headers from body (delimited by an empty line)
3) make an array from the headers, splitting each line by ': '
// Disclaimer: untested
// step 1
$hf = fopen($file, 'r') or die("Can't read $file");
$buffer=fread($hf, filesize($hf));
fclose($hf);
// step 2 - now you have the chapter ready
list($headers, $chapter) = preg_split("/(\n|\r|\r\n|\n\r){2,2}/s", $buffer);
// step 3
$headers = preg_split("/(\n|\r|\r\n|\n\r)/s", $headers);
$arkeywords = array(); // for the "array" method, see below
foreach ($headers as $line) {
list($var, $value) = preg_split('/:\s*/', $line, 2);
// you may rather use an associative array instead of variable names
// the "variable" method:
$$var = $value;
// the "array" method
$arkeywords[$var] = $value;
}
You now have the "body text" in "$chapter", and either an associative
array, or the named variables of the header lines.
>3. How do i open a Word Document and extract all the text?
You might try Word2X (see http://word2x.sourceforge.net/)
Disclaimer - never used it, just been told about it by my friend Google
(question was "Winword conversion Linux").

Nothing else?
Ok, you got something to work on now I believe... *grin*
