hi Clifford Dsouza,
can you please give me details on how far the setup you have build , and what are you really trying to accomplish means what language are you using, the application you are trying to make interacts with in the domain , means you are using php mysql and you are trying to use the imagick extension along with it to convert the ms-word to image , id you are doing so then let me tell that imagick does not support the microsoft platform documents, so let me introduce you with another idea of using open office , but dont forget or dont leave imagick behind because you would need it later , open office provides you with some API functions & cmd-line interface that help you convert the word doc/docx to PDF actually and then you can use that particular PDF to convert it into image (TIFF GIF OR ANY OTHER USING IMAGICK).
Tell me if you got some idea to work on and please do work on it as it would help you in a lot of ways , wheather you keep googling for another 20 days but you cant say that you learned nothing , after all your previous googling brought you here on the right place , so it would help you again in a lot of ways ,
yes i can help you accomplish your task , but remember "HELP you", okay , come on now
regards,
Omer Aslam
