HI! I'm trying to use Ruby and win32ole to parse a Word document.
So far, I'm able to extract the style and text of each paragraph.
That works great to convert it into individual divs (in the HTML CSS
sense).

Now, inside the paragraphs, there are certain words that have
special formatting (for e.g. the name of a command which is in
monospace) - I'm trying to find how to extract those special cases.
Does anyone know how to achieve that?


Dear Mohit,
you could save the Word file as an html and then extract the
relevant information...
I did that using OpenOffice and got a file containing the font
information in the following form.


Hi Axel

Thanks for replying! Converting to HTML and working with that is my
last option actually. In a well-written document, I found that using
Word to return style information about the paragraph is a lot less
work and relatively easy to work with. I guess it's time to consider
your suggestion!

Actually, after digging around, I found that this gets me somewhere there:
words = doc.Words
words.each {|w|
index += 1
ft = w.Font.Name
ftHash[ft] = 1
}

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Mohit.
