I have a bunch of doc files that I need to concatenate into a large

Can Openoffice do this in any way ?
Yes. There's the obvious way: just open each document in turn,
select all the text, and copy and paste it into a single (new?)
document. But there is a neater way:
o Start a new Writer document (or open one of your existing
documents, if appropriate).
o Position the cursor where you want the next document's contents to
appear.
o Go to Insert | File... and browse to the relevant document file.
o Repeat as necessary.
I trust this helps.

I guess I was not very clear, but I am looking for a neat command line way
like cat file1 file2 file3 > file. I have something like 30 files and the
way you suggest might be a trifle tedious :)
Well, all you have to do is write a script that unzips the file and
extracts the XML stuff and... Oh wait, that's only with ODF and not
.DOC! ;-)
But I will follow your second advice as it appears to be better than the
obvious alternative.
