SYNOPSIS

wordview [ filename]

DESCRIPTION

wordview is simple GUI wrapper around catdoc(1) which allows to browse through word file interactively. It doesn’t allow to edit file, but allows to save plain text representation (or version with some TeX commands) into the file.

If for some reason catdoc doesn’t recognize file encoding properly, wordview allows to specify encoding interactively.

OPTIONS

wordview supports standard X options, supported by wish(1)

X RESOURCES

Following X resources can be used to customize wordviewlook:

Wordview.Text.Background
	background color for main window
Wordview.Text.Foreground
	Foreground color for main window
Wordview.Text.selectBackground
	Background color of selected text
Wordview.Text.selectForeground
	Foreground color of selected text
Wordview.Text.Font
	Font to display text. We recommend to use fixed-width font, such as Courier, becouse catdoc(1) is intended to convert Word into text. Either XLFD font names or Tk-style font specifications like {Courier 12pt} can be used for specifying font. If you use XLFD font names, usage of unicode (iso10646-1) fonts is recommended.
Wordview.Text.findMode
	How to search text. This option can have value either exact or regexp and specifis whether text is searched for exact match or for regular expression by default. This behavoir can be toggled interactively via checkbox in the search dialog.
Wordview.Text.findCase
	This boolean option controls whether search is case-sensitive. Default is no.
Wordview.Menu.highlightBackground
	Background color for highlighted menu item
Wordview.Menu.highlightThickness Wordview.Menu.activeBackground
	Background color of active menu item.
Wordview.Menu.activeBorderWidth
	Width (in pixels) of border around highlighted menu item. Default is 0, which differs from Tk global default. See options(n) for more details.

A lot of other resource options which affect behavoir of standard Tk widgets can affect wordview. See Tcl/Tk manual pages for more information.
