I only used it to view Office docs a couple of times. In this
respect, gnumeric likes Excel spreadsheets quite a lot (but then, I only
used useful ones, not the ones the "outsourcing manager" of the place I
used to work did. An absolute work of [f]art). .doc files aren't too bad
(mainly used to look at CVs). In general, I find it fast and lean on a
K7-550 with 64 megs. Specially in blackbox :-)

Surely you can hack a little perl script to do that? :-)
