If the quality isn't that great (I've never tried it) or the documents are quite complex, I think you're going to have to find a way to do it from within OpenOffice. -- Tom Martin, http://dev.gentoo.org/~slarti AMD64, net-mail, shell-tools, vim, recruiters Gentoo Linux signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Other options would be antiword and catdoc. You'll probably be able to get something readable as long as the .doc files don't contain tables... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
