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 (ASCII) 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)
       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 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 processor 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.
