Thanks.

I did some experiments with Word document that contains Russian characters,
and with default xdoc2txt options it outputs text in cp1251 (default Russian
encoding on Windows). So it should work for non-Japanese too.

But Excel documents does not work in that way. I.e. I see numbers, but not text.
Strange.
