Binary package “catdoc” in ubuntu xenial

  1. Xenial (16.04)
  2. catdoc

Convert Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files to plain text

 The catdoc program reads one or more Microsoft word files and outputs text,
 contained insinde them to standard output.
 .
 It is now accompanied by xls2csv, a program which converts Excel spreadsheet
 into comma-separated value file, and catppt a utility to extract textual
 information from Powerpoint files.
 .
 It doesn't try to preserve Word formatting, it's goal is to extract plain text
 and allow you to read it and, probably, reformat with TeX.
 .
 This package suggests tk because it also includes wordview, an
 optional Tk-based GUI for catdoc. The MIME config provided in this
 package will use wordview if X is running, or catdoc directly if it
 is not.
