porting a text file to Xournal
 
I have been converting my MS Word files into .txt files and reading them in Notes on my N800 OS2008. Is there a way (or extension change) to get these text files into Xournal? Thanks

convert doc files in pdf using antiword then import into xournal
get xournal package for os 2008 from http://www.debernardis.it/n800/antiw..._0.1.armel.deb

That should be "get antiword package", right?

Isn't antiword CLI only?
Launch xterm, and type antiword.
When run with no options, it prints a help screen.

You probably want something like:
Code:

antiword -a letter MyDoc.doc > MyDoc.pdf

thanks Benson. Tried just it but that is way too labor intensive and slow for a non Linux guy like me. Plus the xterm directories arent the same as File Manager so its hard to keep track of locations.
I'll just keep saving the docs as text and opening them with Note. (unless a GUI shows up)
thanks
