I prefer antiword myself, but it doesn't do tables.  But that's not my

You corrected me, and thanks for that.  I find both .doc and .pdf 
objectionable, for the reason that they mask behind machine language what 
ought to be plain text. I suppose ascii-->english translators to be 
universal.  I don't suppose doc-->english to be universal, nor 
pdf-->english.  html-->english is my next choice, which I hadn't seen.
