+Title: Converting docx to text with unzip and sed
+
+Periodically people email me Microsoft Word files which clearly contain
+only text.  Fortunately, Word is now creating OOXML `.docx` files which
+contain honest to goodness UTF-8 text (and lots of XML tags).  This is a
+step up from the `.doc` format which as near as I could tell needed
+special libraries to penetrate.
+
+`.docx` files are zip archives.  The archived file `word/document.xml`
+contains the text of the document itself and can be extracted with
+`unzip file.docx word/document.xml`.
+
+If you just want to see the text in a .docx file, you can strip out all
+XML tags of `word/document.xml`, converting the P tag to a new
+paragraph.  It's surprisingly legible for every .docx file I've seen so
+far.  The sed command would be `s#</w:p>#\n\n#g;s#<[^>]*>##g`.
+
+I made a shell script called `docx2txt` which contains the unzip command
+to pipe to stdout, which is read by sed running that crazy script.  It
+looks like this:
+
+    #! /bin/sh
+
+    unzip -qc "$1" word/document.xml | sed 's#</w:p>#\n\n#g;s#<[^>]*>##g'

 I don't have a lot to say about photobob.  It's the 7th or so photo
 album package I've written, and probably the best.  You just put
