One library that does this is wv. This is available in a stand-alone package, for cpnverting word->html and word->latex . word->latex doesn't work well on Hebrew, but word->html works fine. Use wvHtml from the wv package, and view the result in a browser that supports bidi (mozilla, galeon, konqueror, skipstone) Alternatively, use abiword, which uses wv for reading word documents, and has bidi support. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://linuxclub.il.eu.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
