In order to parse word documents, in my htdig.conf I have the =
following:

# to convert different binary documents (.doc, .ps, .pdf, .xls, .ppt)
#doc2html=3D/usr/local/bin/doc2html.pl
external_parsers:       application/pdf->text/html
/usr/local/bin/doc2html.pl \
                        application/postscript->text/html
/usr/local/bin/doc2htm
                        application/msword->text/html
/usr/local/bin/doc2html.pl
                        application/msexcel->text/html
/usr/local/bin/doc2html.p
                        application/vnd.ms-excel->text/html
/usr/local/bin/doc2h
                        application/vnd.ms-powerpoint->text/html
/usr/local/bin/
