Doesn't Open Office have an SDK? It supports MS Word docs. Also search for doc to pdf or other converters.
Do you need to maintain any look and feel? If not look for converters that can convert to plain text too.

Same project, different question... [I've just been given the dubious pleasure (?!?!) of spending a day next week showing has a customer's existing database can be neatly integrated into a CMS.] They currently have a number of projects which have associated information in MS Word format. All the Word docs are *supposed* to be of a common format, but as happens when you have different people starting with a word template, everything goes horribly wrong... One of the things they really want is for these word docs to be pulled from their current location, parsed and stuck into the CMS in a common format. Oh yay. Problem: we're running on linux, so no COM. Anyone have *any* idea how I'm going to manage this one? Tim. ------------------------------------------------------- Try the ColdFusion Coding Contest!
