Hi ya,
There are quite a few commercial Ms-Office compatible greps but is
there an Open Source one?

I don't know of a tool that greps Office files per se, but you can use the
"antiword" package to transform your Word documents into text and pipe the
output to the regular grep...

Cute tool, which I have now installed from
http://www.gknw.de/mirror/antiword/antiword-0.34-w32.zip
(not a part of cygwin?)
But I'm still looking for an office files compatible grep

It is also part of the Cygwin distribution as Cygwin version, just
ask setup.exe to install it.

Yep just found it; funny thing I have the full version setup, but
found that antiword was still an optional download??
