[api-dev] Re: Get a word doc as a java String

[Gascoigne Thomas]

Hi,   I need to turn MS Word documents into plain text so that they can be indexed for searching purposes. Would the Open Office UNO api provide a relatively straight forward and painless way to do this. I basically need to read word docs in and get a java String representation of the doc out. Any advise greatly appreciated, Thomas   ********************************************************************** The information in this e-mail and any attachment is confidential.
