wordview(1)                 General Commands Manual                wordview(1)

NAME
       wordview - displays text contained in MS-Word file in X window

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 al-
       lows  to  save plain text representation (or version with some TeX com-
       mands) 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 specifica-
               tions 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.  De-
               fault  is  0,  which  differs  from  Tk global default. See op-
               tions(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 informa-
       tion.
