Or, since OpenOffice.org is giving you the results you like, rather than switching rendering, you could do the following: 1. Make sure that the PyUNO bits for OpenOffice.org are installed. On Fedora 10, this is the "openoffice.org-pyuno" package (go figure). 2. Download this helpful script, which I found by googling: http://www.artofsolving.com/files/DocumentConverter.py 3. Do a batch conversion: for F in *.doc ; do H="$(basename "$F" .doc).html" python DocumentConverter.py "$F" "$H" done Note my little batch command is very similar to the one above; I just happen to be using the "basename" command, which I think most distros include. -- Paul W.
