MSWord can save things into various formats. OpenOffice can open and
convert MSWord file in several more formats. There is a Java toolkit
to read the MSWord file, though it is still at a very early stage:
http://poi.apache.org/hwpf/index.html.

But in general, AFAIK, nothing will read MSWord format directly and do
something useful with it. It is just too complex.
