Get content of an HTMLInputElement word document in javascript

Question

I have an ms-word document as HTMLInputElement in my javascript. How do I get the full content of the file to save it as a Blob object and be able to retrieve it?

var file = document.getElementById('ms-word');
**var content = file.getcontentofthefile;**

Thanks
