As a footnote to the recent discussion of how to get documents out of
Microsoft Word format into something useful, I'd like to call to
people's attention a rather spiffy little utility called Majix.

Majix converts RTF to XML according to a user-supplied
specification. You can tell it to translate Word styles or formatting
effects into specific XML tags, or to ignore them. It's written in
Java, so you can run it on anything. It has a nice clean visual
interface, and it works pretty fast.

And it's FREE!
