Thanks a lot, this seems to work better than the inline HTML viewer for
printing.

I looked at antiword, but it looks to have a rather primitive support for Word.
Certainly images are not supported and some of the more complex documents that
I have don't display quite well. I think I'll stick with StarOffice, even
though I don't like it too much as it takes over the whole display. I hope the
OpenOffice version will be more modular and be more cooperative with the other
XWindows applications, exmh included.
