Antiword is a free MS Word reader for Linux and RISC OS. There are ports to BeOS, OS/2, Mac OS X, Amiga, VMS, NetWare, EPOC, Zaurus PDA and DOS. Antiword converts the binary files from Word 2, 6, 7, 97, 2000 and 2002 to plain text and to PostScript TM.
Microsoft Word only exists on platforms supported by Microsoft itself. On other platforms, reading Microsoft Word files is usually difficult, sometimes expensive and often impossible.
I am busy writing a Microsoft Word reader for Linux and RISC OS. This Microsoft Word reader is called Antiword for reasons explained in the documentation.
Antiword is a work in progress and many features are still being developed. However, Antiword is usable on all but the most complex Word documents.
Note: Windows version is also.
