Cheers Kent, Just another quick one before I give it a try. To do this simple text extraction task should it be possible to use an OO api in process by just including necessary jars or will it required a full OO 'server' running either locally or remotely? Thanks, Thomas

You will need to connect, and then convert your document. There are examples for connection and conversion (filters). Be sure to look in the java examples directory of the sdk. Be sure to also look on the openoffice snippets page, there are some bootstrapping classe which will get you up and runny very quickly. other than that you will probably have to be a bit more specific. good luck --- Gascoigne Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > > > I need to turn MS Word documents into plain text so > that they can be > indexed for searching purposes.
