There is a UNIX Word to HTML converter, I have never used it, don't know if it's still available as the site is down now.
an RPMFind Description http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/PLD/dists/ra/PLD/i386/PLD/RPMS/wv-0.7.2- 2.i386.html here is the google cache for it. http://216.239.37.100/search? q=cache:f0Tf4CULchYJ:www.wvware.com/wvWare.html+imagemagick+word+document&hl=e n&ie=UTF-8 Basically, if you were just after a 'close' version of the word doco this might do the trick. Once you are in HTML, you can go to PDF easy enough with html2pdf or something similar. Good Luck. Be interested to know what you find. "Wonder if openoffice writer can do a command line file save as, that's your BEST option. .. or .. even better would be to extract the openoffice Word Reading Library. Work is already done! :-) Ahh I Love OSS On Fri, 6 Jun 2003 08:26:49 +1000 (EST), Laurie Savage wrote > 1.
