    <p>Looking to develop server-side application that will process documents. The source documents are mostly MS-Word 2003, 2007, i.e. the MS version of Docx. Want the server application to be able to run on both linux or windows. Wanting to know what is the best tool or library for reading and writing MS-Word files under linux. Compatibility is the most important consideration. Must preserve source document formatting including tables.</p> <p>I have seen a kind of similar post <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/125222/extracting-text-from-ms-word-files-in-python" title="extracting-text-from-ms-word-files-in-python">here</a> but it was specific to python. I don't care what language or libraries are used as long as they are available for windows and linux.<br> <strong>Must not</strong> require MS-Word to read the Word files.<br> I am aware of Open Office but am looking for a solution which has a high degree of compatibility with MS-Word files. Also just came across this solution which looks promising. <a href="http://www.aspose.com/categories/java-components/aspose.words-for-java/default.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer" title="Aspose words for java">aspose.com</a> Anyone had any experience using Aspose.Words for Java or similar 3rd party packages? It looks promising but it's pricey at over $2K for an OEM subscription. That said if it delivers as advertised it may still be the best solution out there.</p> <p>thanks There have been a couple of suggestions but nothing so far which would fits the bill (or the budget).</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
