Antiword is a free MS-Word reader for Linux, RISC
OS, and DOS. It converts the documents from Word
2, 6, 7, 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003 to text,
Postscript, and XML/DocBook. Antiword tries to
keep the layout of the document intact.

Displaying of page headers and footers was
implemented for PostScript and PDF output.
"footnote" tags were added to XML/DocBook output.
Support for text removed by the revisioning system
was added. The KDE helper script kantiword was
improved.
This release fixes a bug in the use of the environment variable
ANTIWORDHOME. It slightly improves the XML/DocBook output and adds more
support for WinWord 1.x documents.
This release includes better approximations for
fancy characters in the output, support for text
boxes, support for MacWord 4 and 5 as well as
Word-for-DOS documents, support for superscripts
and subscripts, as well as improved lists. Several
bugs were fixed.
