_______________________________________________________
I've just installed GoogleDesktop for Linux and notice it indexes Microsoft
Office Documents by converting them first to a text file by means of common
OpenSource tools. The tools Google chosen are:
.doc: first wvText then wvWare then catdoc
.xls: xls2csv
.ppt: catppt
wvText and wvWare belong to the wv package.
catdoc, xls2csv and catppt belong to the catdoc package.
I'm not sure about the accuracy Google people devoted to choose those tools,
but maybe it worths comparing their choice with ours

Current Invenio tool order for DOC is
[CFG_PATH_ANTIWORD, CFG_PATH_CATDOC, CFG_PATH_WVTEXT]
and for PPT is
[CFG_PATH_PPTHTML] (and then html2text).
It would indeed be good to compare ppthtml with catppt and antiword with wv
tools.
