Miscellaneous: Reading MSWord document
(last edit: 2000-11-22)
                   There are allot of programs around who let you read MSWord documents. The two programs
I use are 'antiword' and 'mswordview'. The last one is currently known as 'wvware' but
at the time I write this still known as 'msworview' in the ports.

antiword
Install 'antiword' via:

/usr/ports/textproc/antiword

Antiword  is  an  application that displays the text of MS Word files. Only files made by 
MS Word version 6 or later are supported.

Run antiword from the command line:

user@host:~#antiword mydoc.doc | less

You can browse thru the docment if you redirect the output to e.g. less

MswordView
Intall 'mswordview' via:

/usr/ports/textproc/mswordview

Run mswordview for the command line:

user@host:~#mswordview mydoc.doc

And then mswordview will create a file named 'mydoc.doc.html'. Open this file with your 
browser and you can read the word document.
