WV

WV (formerly called wordview) provides a set of commands for converting Microsoft Word Documents to other formats.

NOTE: WV is still a developing package and may not handle figures correctly in all case. It is unlikely to handle equations at all.

• wvHtml: convert your Word document into HTML4.0
• wvLatex: convert your Word document into visually (pretty) correct LaTeX
• wvCleanLatex: convert into 'cleaner' LaTeX containing less visual mark-up, more suitable for further use and LyX import. Work in progress
• wvDVI: converts word to DVI. Requires 'latex'
• wvPS: converts word to PostScript. Requires 'dvips'
• wvText: converts word to plain text. Textually correct output requires 'lynx.' For poor output, this doesn't require anything special.
• wvWml: converts word to WML for viewing on portable devices like WebPhones and Palm Pilots.

For example

wvHtml input.doc output.html
