Yes, using an external parser, specified by an
external_parsers:
statement in the configuration file.
On the htdig web site click on "Contributed work" and then "External Parsers".
You should use either doc2html.pl or conv_doc.pl, they are both Perl scripts
which call various utility programs to do the actual conversion. Do not
use the old parse_doc script.
Doc2html.pl gives you a choice of either wp2html (very cheap commercial
product) or catdoc (public domain) to convert Word files.
