Re: view .docx files as text?

Hi

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately your code didn't work as it threw this error msg:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "no-word")
  no-word()
  set-auto-mode-0(no-word nil)
  set-auto-mode()
  normal-mode(t)
  after-find-file(nil t)
  find-file-noselect-1(#<buffer Charlie missing - slips 14 03 09.doc>
"~/Documents/Charlie missing - slips 14 03 09.doc" nil nil
"~/Documents/Charlie missing - slips 14 03 09.doc" (55748 (22774 . 28458)))
  find-file-noselect("c:/Users/Dad/Documents/Charlie missing - slips 14 03
09.doc" nil nil nil)
  find-file("c:/Users/Dad/Documents/Charlie missing - slips 14 03 09.doc")
  find-file-existing("c:/Users/Dad/Documents/Charlie missing - slips 14 03
09.doc")
  menu-find-file-existing()
  call-interactively(menu-find-file-existing)

When I try loading no-word.el it still doesn't work- I get a command in
minibuffer about coding(default) & if I [ret] then I get this error msg:

'antiword' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I have also placed no-word.el in emacs/site-lisp directory but I still get
the same error message.

I wonder if you or anyone else can offer some more help please?
