antiword (on freshmeat.net) converts word to text.

mswordview
And while we're on the topic, there's also pptHtml.

Thanks.

I never remember such things. Knowing their names, I just go to google and look
them up. It's kind of like when I was in university and unable to take notes
(aren't the blind people of today, with notetakers and all, rather spoiled?). I
learned very quickly that I didn't need to remember all of the details, as long
as I remembered the underlying principles and knew how to derive any needed
detail.

Now know as wv, ostensibly because of pressure from those folks in the
Northwest U.S.

On my Mandrake machine, there is wvHtml.
Official site is: http://www.wvware.com/
They have converters that can take a Word file and fubar
it into most Un*x format: PostScript, LateX, plain text,
you name it.
Very good stuff.

Let's see, Dave Raggett wrote tidy-gui available for several platforms and
it is capable of cleaning up the html word generates so that it conforms
to w3c standards. After that I've heard of people using abbyword and
antiword to get text out of word documents.
