ANTIWORD(1)                   Linux User's Manual                  ANTIWORD(1)NAME       antiword - show the text and images of MS Word documentsSYNOPSIS       antiword [ options ] wordfilesDESCRIPTION       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       -a papersize              Output in Adobe PDF form. Printable on paper  of  the  specified              size:  10x14,  a3, a4, a5, b4, b5, executive, folio, legal, let-              ter, note, quarto, statement or tabloid.       -f     Output in formatted text form. That  means  that  bold  text  is              printed  like *bold*, italics like /italics/ and underlined text              as _underlined_.       -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  Net-                 work Graphics (PNG) images are not printed correctly)       -m mapping file              This  file is used to map Unicode characters to your local char-              acter set.  The default mapping file depends on the locale.       -p papersize              Output in PostScript form. Printable on paper of  the  specified              size:  10x14,  a3, a4, a5, b4, b5, executive, folio, legal, let-              ter, note, quarto, statement or tabloid.       -r     Include text removed by the revisioning system.       -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).       Antiword uses the environment variables  ``LC_ALL'',  ``LC_CTYPE''  and       ``LANG'' (in that order) to get the current locale and uses this infor-       mation to select the default mapping file.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       The most recent released version of Antiword is always available from:       http://www.winfield.demon.nl/index.html       or try       http://antiword.cjb.net/AUTHOR       Adri van Os <antiword@winfield.demon.nl>       or try <comments@antiword.cjb.net>       R.F.
