There are two formats of Word files.  One is essentially XML (Word
XP/2003) which beagle can and should index.  The earlier versions of
word, use a binary file format and beagle prbably wont be able to
extract any useful information from them.

Solution?  Convert all your ".doc" to ODF (Oped Document Format).

Cheers,
