Docvert: Web service to convert .doc to open standards
Posted on March 16th, 2006 by Tim Almond
Matthew Cruickshank has released code for a web service to convert from .doc to either OpenDocument (used by OpenOffice.org) or HTML.
I can see this as useful for companies trying to move off .doc. If a mail arrives in .doc format, have the web server convert it directly to a .sxw for the user. If you are receiving documents that you want to process in some way, having them arrive as XML means you can process them easily into a database.
The code is called Docvert and is available from http://holloway.co.nz/docvert/
