NAME
antiword - show the text and images of MS Word documents
SYNOPSIS
antiword [ options ] wordfiles
DESCRIPTION
Antiword is an application that displays the text and the
images of Microsoft Word documents. Only documents made
by MS Word version 6 or later are supported.
OPTIONS
-h Give a help message.
-i image level
The image level decides how images will be shown.
0: Use non-standard extentions from Ghostscript.
This output may not print on any PostScript
printer, but is useful in case no hard-copy is
needed. It is also useful when Gostscript is
used as a filter to print a PostScript file to a
non-PostScript printer.
1: Show no images.
2: PostScript level 2 compatible. (default)
3: PostScript level 3 compatible. (EXPERIMENTAL,
Portable Network Graphics (PNG) images are not
printed correctly)
-m mapping file
This file is used to map Unicode characters to your
local character set. The default is UTF-8.txt in
locales that support UTF-8 and 8859-1.txt in other
locales.
-p papersize
Output in PostScript form. Printable on paper of
the given size: 10x14, a3, a4, a5, b4, b5, execu
tive, folio, legal, letter, note, quarto, statement
or tabloid.
-s Include text with the so called "hidden text"
attribute.
-t Output in text form. (default)
-w width
In text mode this is the width of a line in charac
ters. A value of zero puts an entire paragraph on a
line, useful when the text is to used as input for
an other wordprocessor. This value is ignored in

PostScript mode.
-L In PostScript mode: use landscape mode.
-X PostScript encoding
1: In Postscript mode: encode in the ISO-8859-1
character set. (This option implies -m
8859-1.txt) (default)
2: In Postscript mode: encode in the ISO-8859-2
character set. (This option implies -m
8859-2.txt) (EXPERIMENTAL and UNTESTED)
FILES
$/opt/antiword/share/8859-1.txt,
$HOME/.antiword/8859-1.txt and friends:
Global and local mapping files (see -m option)
/opt/antiword/share/fontnames, $HOME/.antiword/fontnames:
Global and local versions of the fontnames file.
This file contains the translation table from font
names as used by MS Word to fontnames used by
PostScript.
NOTE:
A global file will be used when the local one is
not available.
ENVIRONMENT
Antiword uses the environment variable ``HOME'' to find
the home directory of the user. When in text mode it uses
the variable ``COLUMNS'' to set the width of the output
(unless overridden by the -w option).
BUGS
Antiword is far from complete. Many features are still
missing. Many images are not shown yet. Some of the images
that are shown, are shown in the wrong place.
