- ANTIWORD(1) Linux User's Manual ANTIWORD(1)
- NAME
- antiword - show the text and images of MS Word documents
- SYNOPSIS
- antiword [ options ] wordfiles
- DESCRIPTION
- Antiword is an application that displays the text and the
- images of Microsoft Word documents.
- A wordfile named - stands for a Word document read from
- the standard input.
- Only documents made by MS Word version 2 and version 6 or
- later are supported.
- OPTIONS
- -h Give a help message.
- -i image level
- The image level determines how images will be
- shown.
- 0: Use non-standard extensions from Ghostscript.
- This output may not print on any PostScript
- printer, but is useful in case no hard copy is
- needed. It is also useful when Ghostscript is
- used as a filter to print a PostScript file to a
- non-PostScript printer.
- 1: Show no images.
- 2: PostScript level 2 compatible. (default)
- 3: PostScript level 3 compatible. (EXPERIMENTAL,
- Portable Network Graphics (PNG) images are not
- printed correctly)
- -m mapping file
- This file is used to map Unicode characters to your
- local character set. The default is UTF-8.txt in
- locales that support UTF-8 and 8859-1.txt in other
- locales.
- -p papersize
- Output in PostScript form. Printable on paper of
- the specified size: 10x14, a3, a4, a5, b4, b5,
- executive, folio, legal, letter, note, quarto,
- statement or tabloid.
- -s Include text with the so-called "hidden text"
- attribute.
- -t Output in text form. (default)
- -w width
- In text mode this is the line width in characters.
- A value of zero puts an entire paragraph on a line,
- useful when the text is to used as input for
- another wordprocessor. This value is ignored in
- PostScript mode.
- -x document type definition
- Output in XML form. Currently the only document
- type definition is db (for DocBook).
- -L In PostScript mode: use landscape mode.
- FILES
- Mapping files like 8859-1.txt
- Antiword looks for its mapping files in three
- directories, in the order given:
- (1) The directory specified by $ANTIWORDHOME
- (2) The directory specified by $HOME/.antiword
- (3) Directory /usr/share/antiword
- The fontnames file
- Antiword will look for its fontname file in the
- same directories as used for the mapping files.
- The fontnames file contains the translation table
- from font names used by MS Word to font names used
- by PostScript.
- NOTE:
- Antiword cannot tell the difference between a file
- that does not exist and a file that cannot be
- opened for reading.
- ENVIRONMENT
- Antiword uses the environment variable ``ANTIWORDHOME'' as
- the first directory to look for its files. Antiword uses
- the environment variable ``HOME'' to find the user's home
- directory. When in text mode it uses the variable
- ``COLUMNS'' to set the width of the output (unless over-
- ridden by the -w option).
- BUGS
- Antiword is far from complete. Many features are still
- missing. Many images are not shown yet. Some of the images
- that are shown, are shown in the wrong place. PostScript
- output is only available in ISO 8859-1 and ISO 8859-2.
- WEB SITES

- available from:
