Hi guys,
Thanks for the advice. I've passed on instructions for disabling Word's
template picker and auto-update as temporary workarounds, and I'm
currently having a crack at using textutil and tidy to convert the .doc
files into (really crappy) XHTML which I should be able to parse (albeit
painfully) into consumable form, eliminating the need to go through Word
at all. Frustrating that Word makes all this stuff so difficult, but I
don't suppose Office got to be such a shameless monopoly by playing
nicely with others. I think when I'm done I'll record some nice movies
of the whole thing in action, at least then I'll have a solid fallback
the next time <application name> decides to play silly buggers on us and
ruin the day. Plus it looks really cool, of course. ;p
Cheers,
has
