Here at work we got word2x installed which works on Word6 documents (according to the manpage) but since I got no word documents at all I can't test it. Maybe have a look at http://word2x.alcom.co.uk. The README points to http://www.kfa-juelich.de/isr/1/texconv.html "for a list of other converters". As one can guess from the URL (kfa-juelich) it is a TeX-site ...

I could swear I once ran across a word-to-ascii-converter, but can't remember name or place, sorry.

Stefan K
