antiword isn't very good. I use wvWare
(http://wvware.sourceforge.net/) directly, but you may find that using
abiword is better for you (abiword is an editor, but it also does
conversions and actually it's quite fast for that). It also deals
with fast-saved word docs.
Sigh. Must remember to read messages before sending. abiword uses
wvWare -- both will deal with fast-saved word docs, not just abiword.
We used to use POI, but it's a little fragile and people were getting
all upset when a word document gummed up the works. Using an external
executable seems to be no slower and is certainly less problematic.
