| Ausführliche Beschreibung | This program extracts text from MS-Word files, trying to preserve
as many special printable characters as possible. catdoc supports
everything up to Word-97. Also supported are MS Write documents and RTF
files.
.
It doesn't even try to preserve fancy Word formatting, because
Word users usually don't care about document structure, and it is
this very thing which is important to LaTeX users.
.
Also provided is xls2csv, which extracts data from Excel spreadsheets
and outputs it in comma-separated-value format and catppt, which extracts
data from PowerPoint presentations.
.
This package suggests tk because it also includes wordview, an
optional Tk-based GUI for catdoc. The MIME config provided in this
package will use wordview is X is running, or catdoc directly if it
is not.
