A nice utility that a lot of people don't know about is Antiword. It strips out all MS Word formatting and produces ASCII text. It outputs to screen, but you can redirect the output to a file: antiword inputfile.doc > outputfile.txt I realize that Antiword wasn't available to you at the Internet cafe. Actually, it would be nice if Antiword could be put on the Knoppix CD. It's only 128 kbytes in size. best regards, Robert
I've used 'catdoc' in the past. 'strings' is also useful. How does antiword compare to catdoc? Stephen _______________________________________________ debian-knoppix mailing list debian-knoppix@linuxtag.org http://mailman.linuxtag.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-knoppix
