Character array? As far as I know, no such thing exists in Word...at least
not in that kind of sense.

What is it, exactly, that you're ultimately needing to do? IOW, explain
better what you mean by "extract the characters".

As far as documentation, consult the VBA documentation included with Word.
It describes the Word object model, its objects, and their properties,
methods, and events.
