Hi Jim Found this response to your question on Stack Overflow!
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/375861/how-to-parse-word-documents-with-ruby bit of a hack - use JRuby and the existing Java libraries. Could also make a system call to one of the Perl or Python libraries too, or write some Java and use the libraries using a system call. I've been in the situation where we had word running on an old machine in batch mode converting stuff to RTF. Maybe (and this is mad) upload to google docs and down again? There might be a web service that will get it into RTF anyway? I'm assuming that Ruby will do RTF but I could be wrong about that.. RTF is relatively easy to parse though. OR ... use openoffice and a macro via a system call?
