which, from the looks of it, is exactly what is expected: no-word is by default
configured to ask you for an encoding.

this is not an emacs error but an error from the DOS command shell. it means
that the antiword executable cannot be found. since no-word doesn't allow you to
customize this location (which is a bug, if you ask me) you'll either have to
modify the code or (easier) put the antiword executable in your $PATH.
