Grab antiword. gets the text, the whole text, and only the text. Usually this is what you need to read a document :-) . bidi support can be added by piping the text to fribidi or to bidiv . Version 0.33 supports OfficeXP as well. There is also WVware (It is used in abiword as well), which can translate word documents to HTML documents. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
