<DIV><SPAN class=613491117-07042006><FONT size=2>Why do none of the typical
Microsoft converters show up in the above table? This is on a Linux box and I'm
not sure if things like wvWare are installed (eg. for converting and indexing
msword files). I can index a pdf file object no problem, but word docs are
ignored - they catalogged but their text/content doesn't get
indexed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=613491117-07042006><FONT size=2>It shows all of the microsoft
converters. I don't have the dependencies installed on this machine so I
