Had (apparently mistakenly) imagined that "recipes my uncle typed up" meant a reasonable number of documents. How many recipes can one uncle type? At ~20-seconds per document, open-save-close, that's 180 recipes in an hour, far inferior to the time to develop, test and implement a server-side solution. Probably inferior to the time to post a question and read silly replies! :-)
Comment on Re: Re: Re: parsing word on non-windows platform
What would you rather do... doing tedious open-save-close for an hour or spend a day or two researching a better way to do it so I don't have to ever do that tedious open-save-close. This way when my uncle gives me yet more family recipes that he has typed up in word, I will have something already done and it will save time later.
Besides, maybe I'll learn something along the way.
