(question) feature request: legacy office files #9

Would it be possible to also support legacy Office files? If you know how to do it I can further implement it!

Yeah it is in my TODO for this library but Microsoft has not released any official specification for the legacy office formats (doc, ppt, xls). They did a long ago and then did not update them after they made a few changes to the format. There are a few specifications which are not so accurate. I will try to get my hands on them and give it a look. I will work on this too, I promise.
