Personally I would recommend you look at e.g. pdftotext, there are various 
options for converting Word and other formats, depending on whether you mind 
looking at commercial software (we use one here, but I'm not going to throw 
around recommendations). I'm using pdftotext here (the PDFs are produced by a 
conversion process from a variety of formats including Word).
