NAMEantiword - show the text and images of MS Word documents
SYNOPSISantiword [ options ] wordfiles
DESCRIPTIONAntiword is an application that displays the text and the images of Microsoft Word documents.
A wordfile named - stands for a Word document read from the standard input.
Only the binary format documents made by MS Word version 2, 6, 7, 97, 2000 and 2003 are supported. Newer Word versions default to using a completely different format consisting of XML files in a ZIP container (usually with a ".docx" file extension) which antiword doesn't support. It also doesn't support the "flat" XML format which MS Word 2003 supported.
OPTIONS−a papersize Output in Adobe PDF form. Printable on paper of the specified size: 10x14, a3, a4, a5, b4, b5, executive, folio, legal, letter, note, quarto, statement or tabloid. −f Output in formatted text form. That means that bold text is printed like *bold*, italics like /italics/ and underlined text as _underlined_. −h Give a help message. −i image level The image level determines how images will be shown. 0: Use non-standard extensions 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 Ghostscript 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 mapping file depends on the locale. −p papersize Output in PostScript form. Printable on paper of the specified size: 10x14, a3, a4, a5, b4, b5, executive, folio, legal, letter, note, quarto, statement or tabloid. −r Include text removed by the revisioning system. −s Include text with the so-called "hidden text" attribute. −t Output in text form. (default) −w width In text mode this is the line width in characters. A value of zero puts an entire paragraph on a line, useful when the text is to used as input for another wordprocessor. This value is ignored in PostScript mode. −x document type definition Output in XML form. Currently the only document type definition is db (for DocBook). −L In PostScript mode: use landscape mode.
FILESMapping files like 8859-1.txt
Antiword looks for its mapping files in three directories, in the order given:
(1) The directory specified by $ANTIWORDHOME
(2) The directory specified by $HOME/.antiword
(3) Directory /usr/share/antiword The fontnames file
Antiword will look for its fontname file in the same directories as used for the mapping files.
The fontnames file contains the translation table from font names used by MS Word to font names used by PostScript. NOTE:
Antiword cannot tell the difference between a file that does not exist and a file that cannot be opened for reading.
ENVIRONMENTAntiword uses the environment variable ``ANTIWORDHOME'' as the first directory to look for its files. Antiword uses the environment variable ``HOME'' to find the user's home directory. When in text mode it uses the variable ``COLUMNS'' to set the width of the output (unless overridden by the −w option). Antiword uses the environment variables ``LC_ALL'', ``LC_CTYPE'' and ``LANG'' (in that order) to get the current locale and uses this information to select the default mapping file.
BUGSAntiword 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. PostScript output is only available in ISO 8859-1 and ISO 8859-2.
