rtf2html may do what you want.

alternatively a wordprocessor like applixware can read RTF and some
MSword docs.

there's almost certainly some sort of emacs plug-in that will read
RTF and output plain text, and if you're absolutely desperate
$ strings junk.doc
will make *some* sense out of a binary MSword file.
