But you lost all the formatting of the text.
If text is enough for you, you can also use antiword, it's much easier and
more automatic. I have the following script to which I pipe Hebrew MS-Word
attachments I get:
#!/bin/zsh
# hebrew ms-word viewer
antiword -m 8859-8.txt =(cat) | bidiv
Which works quite nicely. It even keeps some of the text formating (with the
limitations of ascii, of course).
BTW, for the Debian users out there, thanks to Baruch Even bidiv is available
as a package (see http://packages.debian.org/unstable/text/bidiv.html).
