RE: [PHP-WIN] Re: Searching MS Word Docs

Ross, It seems my client can accept the fact that Word docs cannot be opened(yet), and they kinda like the html formatted documents, granted they aren't really editable. Oh well. If I can get it to open and search a Word document, that would be great another option to present to them! I am sure I am not the only one that could/would use this! -----Original Message----- From: Ross Fleming [mailto:r.fleming@totalise.co.uk] Sent: Monday, February 11, 2002 11:30 AM To: Todd Williamsen; 'alain' Cc: php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] Re: Searching MS Word Docs Erm... why are you here then?.. php-windows@lists.php.net!! ;) lol Either way, back to the main point in hand, I've just opened a MS Word doc and it LOOKS to be ASCII, all be it with a bunch of binary crap before and after. I can't see why it wouldn't work the way that Nicole suggested. If I have time I'll give it a go tonight and see how I get on.

But as I previously posted its NOT windows, and if you read my post I have no idea how to use COM.
