You can also use "catdoc" http://www.gnu.org/directory/All_Packages_in_Directory/catdoc.html <snip> The program extracts text from Word files while preserving as many special characters as possible. It does not try to preserve Word formatting, but does extract readable text. A Tcl/Tk graphical viewer is included as well, and versions 0.91.2 and above include an Excel file converter. </snip> Regards Aseem ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
