Ross Gardler commented on FOR-746:
----------------------------------

I have no idea, I just saw this on the Cocoon list and stuck it in here as a 
memory jogger.

It is worth noting that i do have a plugin for Forrest that uses OOo to convert 
MSOffice files and then uses our OOo plugin to convert to XDoc. I can't make 
this available via Apache hardware as the license for some required jars from 
OOo is not compatible. However, if anyone has the time to start a plugins 
project on sourceforge and make this one available there under a suitable 
license I would be more than happy to make the code available.

I've been meaning to do it for a long time, but I'm afraid it is pretty low 
priroty. Hopefully this issue will help root out someone willing to be do this.
