You can try to read it with the package 'wv': Description: Programs for accessing Microsoft Word documents wvWare (previously known as mswordview) is a library that allows access to Microsoft Word files. It can load and parse the Word 2000, Word 97, Word 95, and Word 6 file formats. (Work is underway to support reading earlier formats as well: Word 2 documents are converted to plain text.) It's text based, so no fancy GUI. ;) > -- hendrik Cya, Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
