+
+It doesn't even try to preserve fancy Word formatting, because Word users
+usually don't care about document structure, and it is this very thing which
+is important to LaTeX users.
+
+This package also provides @command{xls2csv}, which extracts data from Excel
+spreadsheets and outputs it in comma-separated-value format, and
+@command{catppt}, which extracts data from PowerPoint presentations.")
