There's some programs like doc2odt and doc2rtf that you could use
I'd recommend converting to ODT since it's an ISO standard :-)

I have on my Linux (Ubuntu) system several Word 6.0 documents

I tried to open them using open office but was shocked :-) to find that
open office could not read them.

Can anyone suggest a hopefully inexpensive way for me to be able to
read these files?

It would also be useful to be able to convert them to a form that I can
view from Linux?
