## NAME

wvWare - convert msword documents

## SYNOPSIS

wvWare [-c charset] [--charset charset] [-p password] [--password password] [-x config.xml] [--config config.xml] [-d dir] [--dir dir] filename

## DESCRIPTION

wvWare converts word documents into other formats such as PS,PDF,HTML,LaTeX,DVI,ABW

### OPTIONS

-c charset, --charset charset
  word 97 documents are stored in one of two formats, either in 8 bit windows codepages or in 16bit unicode. The unicode can be converted easily into utf-8, and the codepages are promoted to unicode and converted from there, except for the western european codepage which is always converted to iso-5589-15 if possible. This is the default behaviour. It in possible to convert into other formats or to force a conversion to a particular format, it is not recomended as you don't get a guarantee that the output will be correct, for instance if you convert an english document into koi8-r encoding then it will be wrong, but if you are sure then you can override the default output format using this option. The charsets that are available depend on your system. Systems using the gnu libc 2 and above can convert to just about anything, systems that at wv configure time prove to be inadequate for charset conversion use wv's internal conversion formats which are a small subset of the possible conversions, namely utf-8 iso-5589-15 koi8-r tis-620
-p password, --password password
  Due to heroic work done by a great team or workers, the wv library can decrypt password protected word 97 and older versions of word documents given the correct password.
-d dir, --dir dir
  If dir is used then any created graphics will be placed in this directory. The default is the directory in which the word document is.
-x config.xml, --config config.xml
  Use this to give the location of the config file, if not used the config file is searched for by first checking the current directory, and then by looking in the install location, by default its /usr/local/lib/wv/wvHtml.xml
