Another solution that I have used successfully is as follows (note:
this will probably only work on a linux box)
a) make a call to wvHTML (from wvWare.sourceforge.net) to convert the
doc to html
ex:wvHTML file.doc file.html
b) make a call to elinks which does a beautifull job of converting html to text
ex:elinks -dump file.html file.txt
c) now read in the text from 'file.txt'
it even converts tables nicely
