Camaleón, I'm afraid you lost me. The file was .docx, which looks binary. As a result, it's MIME'd in the mail message, which makes it plain ASCII. But apparently you mean that I can run unzip on the .docx file to extract *.xml data. This was news to me, for I had no idea that .docx was an archive. But I tried it, and a number of things happened. It created an empty _rels directory; it created a docProps directory in which are app.xml and core.xml, and it created a word/ directory in which there are a number of *.xml files. None of these xml files are understood by abiword. Haines -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
