wvWare

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

wvWare is an open source C - program library for conversion of Microsoft Word files. Programs can access this library to import such files and export them to other file formats. For example, AbiWord and KWord use the wvWare library for this purpose. wvWare is subject to the GPL .

The library is able to process files from Word versions 2000, 97, 95 and 6. These correspond to the internal Word format names Word 9, 8, 7 and 6. Earlier formats are processed with restrictions, Word-2 files are converted into unformatted text. The project was originally called mswordview, which looked too similar to a Microsoft product called Microsoft Word Viewer . Therefore the project was renamed.

wvWare is available on many operating system platforms, such as Linux , BSD , macOS , Solaris , OS / 2 , AIX and OSF / 1 .
