- Inside the Winword6 binary stream are only little changes made as to introduce
- watermarks etc. The main difference is, that the WinWord6 stream is now included
- inside a OLE2 compound document.
-
- I've written a filter for Winword 1.x and 2.0 which extracts the plain text out of
- these document formats. Now I am seeking for a filter/unit/program, which extracts
- the Winword6 binary stream out of the OLE2 compund document file, preferrable in
- BPW 7.0 or TPW1.x.

- Anybody out there who can help me?

- All help greatly appreciated,
