Reading a Word File

[stephen barncard]

Yes, it's possible, as Google has shown, that it's possible to 'crack' the
MS formats, but it is not trivial, and not published.
What is usually suggested is to tell whoever is supplying the documents you
need to process in RTF format, which any copy of Word can do, and you can
preserve most of the formatting.

Parsing such a
document must still be done carefully, but the RTF specs are published online.
