Hello Isabelle (& all),

I don't know about AntiWord, but it seems to work well for Gregorio. Two other softs we have used ourselves and that do a reasonable (although not perfect) job, and that you may also want to try if Gregorio's suggestion does not work for you:

1. *OOO2DBK* (http://ebellot.chez.com/ooo2sdbk/)
It's a simple XSLT stylesheet converting OpenOffice 1.x documents into DocBook; it's not very recent, but works quite well to build an initial DocBook document (then, there is some extra editing work to do).

We use it routinely to convert legacy FrameMaker or MS-Word documents into DocBook; it assumes that you can go through OpenOffice (*.odt) first, though. Images are more or less OK, except if you are using embedded images under MS-formats...

2. *CambridgeDocs* (http://www.docscience.com/ section "products")

This is a template-based, commercial tool; the evaluation we made a couple of years ago for converting complex FrameMaker documents into DocBook was very convincing. You can have a temporary license, but you'll have to find a commercial agreement to use it on a permanent basis...

I hope this helps,
Best regards.
Philippe.
