That would be very useful too, but not critically necessary. Please see my 
other responses for why I need this.

I did find this:

http://www.nativewindsofmontana.com/software/docx2rtf.html

This is freeware, an executable that "just works" without having to be 
installed.

Its main limitation is that it only converts to .rtf or .pdf. When we get 
into some very complex .docx files, .rtf will probably not be adequate. PDF 
files are often not fully, or at all, accessible to blind users, depending 
on how they are created, and this software does not provide any user 
control over such things as whether the PDF will contain actual text 
(accessible) or only an image of text (not accessible).

Also, its user interface is only minimally MSAA-compliant; there are 
several controls that do not work with screen-reader software.

So I would still be interested in other suggestions for freeware, 
stand-alone converters.

Thanks very much.
