NAME

       docx2txt - convert Microsoft OOXML files to plain text.

SYNOPSIS

       docx2txt [ infile.docx|-|-h ] [ outfile.txt|- ]
       docx2txt < infile.docx
       docx2txt < infile.docx > outfile.txt

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the docx2txt commands.

       docx2txt  docx2txt  is  a tool that attempts to generate equivalent plain text files from Microsoft .docx
       documents, preserving some formatting and document information (which MS  text  conversion  drops)  along
       with  appropriate  character  conversions  for a good (ascii or utf-8) text experience.  It is a platform
       independent  solution  consisting  of  (core)  Perl  and  (wrapper)  Unix/Windows  shell  scripts  and  a
       configuration  file  to control the output text appearance to a fair extent.  It can very conveniently be
       used to build a Web-based docx document conversion service.  With unzippers like CakeCmd  that  can  deal
       with corrupt Zip archives, this tool can extract text from corrupt docx documents in many cases, where MS
       Word fails to even open them.

OPTIONS

       -h     As the first argument to get this usage information.

       -      As the infile name to read the docx file from STDIN.

       -      As the outfile name to dump the text on STDOUT.
              Output is saved in infile.txt if second argument is omitted.
