I suggest you try doc2html.pl instead of conv_doc.pl. conv_doc allows only one "magic number" for recgnizing Word documents, whereas I think doc2html allows a few different ones. Not all Word documents have the same identifying byte sequence at the start. -- Gilles R. Detillieux E-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Spinal Cord Research Centre WWW: http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/ Dept.
