    Unhappy extracting text from a word doc

    I know people have asked this before, but the only replies I've found through searching use the word object to open the file. We have docs on our server, but cannot install word on the server. Yet, I'm supposed to write something that will open a word doc and extract all the text. Does anyone know how to do this without having word installed? Thanks!

    Unless you can figure out the binary ordering of a word document, then you are going to have to install word or at least a word viewer.. Maybe you could open the file using WordPad, which should already be on the server.
