search on CPAN for MSWORD, there must be a module for parsing MSWord documents.

http://search.cpan.org/

I would look but I can;t get connected to CPAN right now.

Hi guys,

This is an interesting topic for me too.

Yes, there are some interesting tools for converting Word documents to text and they will come in handy.

For a project of mine, I would like to read out just the properties of MSWORD documents. I have googled on key words but it is often unclear whether to tools that are available handle MS-WORD document properties or just the properties of their/other documents.

Does anyone out there have a recommendation of a tool for reading out just the properties of MS-WORD documents?

Any tips would be a great help.

Regards,
Alan.
