I reinstalled to make sure that cp1250.txt, cp1251.txt and cp1252.txt had not been changed: same error. cp1250.txt, cp1251.txt and cp1252.txt have "0x000x0000#NULL" as the first line of the definitions. vim reports that the files are in DOS mode. Converting to Unix line endings with d2u does not get rid of the error message. The spaces between "#" and "NULL" is a tab: /usr/share/antiword> antiword -w 0 path/file.doc 2&> tmp /usr/share/antiword> head -1 tmp Syntax error in: '0x00 0x0000 # NULL' /usr/share/antiword> head -1 tmp | od -c 0000000 S y n t a x e r r o r i n : 0000020 ' 0 x 0 0 \t 0 x 0 0 0 0 \t # \t 0000040 N U L L ' \n 0000046 reinstalled and inserted tabs after #: no change then converted dos to unix: no change reinstalled Tried mapping files, all gave the error messages except MacRoman.txt, UTF-8.txt, and roman.txt.

Interesting. Have the codepage mapping files been modified? Please have a look in /usr/share/antiword, the three files cp1250.txt, cp1251.txt and cp1252.txt should contain "0x00 0x0000 #NULL" at the first line of the definitions without space between '#' and 'NULL'.
