You can also use "catdoc"
http://www.gnu.org/directory/All_Packages_in_Directory/catdoc.html
<snip>
The program extracts text from Word files while preserving as many special 
characters as possible. It does not try to preserve Word formatting, but 
does extract readable text. A Tcl/Tk graphical viewer is included as well, 
and versions 0.91.2 and above include an Excel file converter.
