Re: converting Word documents to something sensible

Well, this doesn't really surprise me too much. We are a linux shop on the backend and AbiWord reads just fine Word files from all the Windows machines, running Windows 2000. However, AbiWord chokes on a Word document from our local Macs, for reasons that I don't know, and I am not too interested. And, after we read in a Word file, we _can_ write it out to HTML, but it ain't pretty... I sympathize with you. The best of British luck. _jef ------------------- Phil Driscoll wrote: > > On Sunday 24 June 2001 16:32, Justin Farnsworth wrote: > > Try the latest AbiWord... > I've just installed it, but I can't find any obvious way to invoke it at the > command line to load a Word file and save out html or rtf.
