If all you need is the text sans formatting, then you can just as well
use the Unix function 'strings' I use it all the time to quickly see
the contents of a .doc file.
Obviously this won't work for Hebrew docs.

As for Staroffice, sometimes it works better than MSWord. I had a
Word6 document, when I tried reading it under Word7, all the
formatting was wrong.
I read it under Staroffice, and it came out nicely.

Once again, there is a problem with Hebrew.
Has anyone tried taking the Hebrew fonts from MSWord and installing
them in Staroffice?
