Hi,
For viewing word docs, you can either use catdoc (in the Debian catdoc
package) or wvWare (in the wv package).
catdoc, like cat, will output to standard output. This means you can view
docs by typing something like:
catdoc filename.doc |less
and output to a file by typing:
catdoc filename.doc >filename.txt
wvWare installs a number of programs to deal with MS Word files.
I use the following to convert to text:
wvText filename.doc filename.txt
Note the capital T in the above example.
For converters like these, I highly recommend installing them both, as
sometimes one will do better than the other on a specific file.
I am not aware of anything for the command line which outputs in word
format, but I've not gone looking for such a thing either.
Geoff.
