Handling .doc files

[Suyash Upadhyay]

Hello All,
I am working on a project and I need to handle .doc files using C on Linux. But I am not getting any method how can I do so.
Can anyone give me any idea about it.

Thanx in advance.

You are referring to .doc files from Microsoft Word??

If so, avoid using the .doc file directly. Is is possible for your clients to save their documents as RTF (Rich Text Format) or as "plain text" (text with line breaks)??

This would avoid having top know the proprietary .doc format.
