I use `catdoc' which works quiet good (for both *doc and *rtf).
`catdoc' is available as a package for Centos and Debian.
Here is a script I use:


catdoc -d8859-8 $1 | \
fribidi --charset ISO8859-8 --width 90 --rtl  ${1}_h_txt
nohup xmessage \
   -background yellow -foreground Black -center\
   -file ${1}_h_txt -title $1 -xrm $1.Scroll:whenNeeded  \
   -font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-80-iso8859-8 \
   -buttons $SPC E x i t $SPC ס י ו ם $SPC  /dev/null 
sleep 1# allow xmessage to start
rm ${1}_h_txt# remove if not used

Ehud:
Thanks for the tip, but I can't get any sensible output. I ran:

catdoc -a -d8859-8 invoice150711.rtf | fribidi --charset ISO8859-8 
--width=80 --rtl


and I get 188 empty lines. :-(
Am I missing something?

Regards,
Micha

Re: [SOLVED] Dual screens / keyboard layout

Hi,

Do you mean multiseat? There is a nice howto about that:

It works good enough here with two USB keyboards and two USB mouses.

  Second question: When I connect a USB keyboard it does not have the
 correct
  layout. I need to go to the keyboard layout and hit 'apply' for it to
  enforce the layout on the USB keyboard as well. Since xorg.conf is now
  pase', does anyone know how to solve this issue?
 

 Answering my own question. This appears to be a known bug:

 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/376592

 The workaround is to modify the console-setup variables that are read
 by /usr/lib/hal/debian-setup-keyboard (the script that runs when a USB
 keyboard is plugged in).

 Change:
 /etc/default/console-setup

 and modify the XKBLAYOUT line to read:
 XKBLAYOUT=us,il

No.  was talking about how connecting a USB keyboard to a laptop (while gnome 
is running) deletes the keyboard layout, and for example loses the 
Hebrew-switching hotkeys. It's apparently a known bug in xorg:
