Reading OpenOffice .doc document
Hi folks,
LFS LiveCD 6.1 Is there any way to "READ" OpenOffice .doc document? I'm running LFS LiveCD to build LFS. The former runs Xfce as destop without word processing software built-in. My problem is how to read .doc documents stored on the HD. After mounting the corresponding partition on the HD I can retrieve .doc document but could not open/read it. I'm not prepared to Remaster the LiveCD. Is there any solution? TIA B.R. satimis |
try to read it with your preffered text editor.

I would suggest burning a Knoppix or other LiveCD that has OpenOffice, Load your .doc files then export them as regular .txt files to be read in LFS 6.1...

OpenOffice.org (OOo) XML file format names
You mention "OpenOffice .doc document". Technically, .doc is an M$ format that OpenOffice.org supports. The native OpenOffice.org formats are all compressed XML (".sx?"). If by any chance you misspoke & actually need to read a .sxw file, then all you should have to do is unpack it before using your favorite/available text editor.
For everyone's (esp. mine) future reference, here is a table I copied & pasted from the OOo 1.1.3 help: Code:

From a little further down in the "XML File Formats" section of OOo help:

Warning, the actual text is in content.xml which is 1 line of XML id & 1 loooong line of "content". The actual words of the content are almost at the end in a series of "<text:p ... >" tags. Good luck reading it. less is probably just as good as vi. Code:
$ unzip -d <extract_dir> <target_file>.sxw |
