Hey Everyone, I was struggling with wordview which has a bunch of powerful options like making a word file into an html file, but Bill Acker told me about catdoc. Now this is the lazy man's heaven. All I did was install the rpm and use the command line argument catdoc file.doc>file.txt and press enter. Now I have the original doc file and a text (.txt) file with the name I gave it. Can life get any better? With catdoc and pdftotext I have solved two big problems that get in the way of someone trying to use a great text interface in a Windows world. 10 points for Linux and heh heh for the other guys. -- Charlie.
