Here's what I've saved up links for:
	<URL:http://word2x.alcom.co.uk/>
	<URL:http://www.gnu.org/~caolan/docs/MSWordView.html>
	<URL:http://www.ice.ru/~vitus/catdoc/>

Word2x attempts to convert Word documents to either HTML, TeX or plain 
text, while preserving as much of the structure as possible.  Seems to 
support at least Word 6 and 7.  MSWordView does indeed support only
Word 8 (Office97) and has HTML as its only output.

catdoc is simpler, and aims at just preserving the text from the Word
document.
