NAME¶

wordview - displays text contained in MS-Word file in X window

SYNOPSIS¶

wordview [ filename]

DESCRIPTION¶

wordview is simple GUI wrapper around catdoc(1) which allows to browse through word file interactively. It doesn't allow to edit file, but allows to save plain text representation (or version with some TeX commands) into the file.

If for some reason catdoc doesn't recognize file encoding properly, wordview allows to specify encoding interactively.

OPTIONS¶

wordview supports standard X options, supported by wish(1)

X RESOURCES¶

Following X resources can be used to customize wordviewlook:
