Why can't you use OpenOffice?

In my experience, there are only very few programs able to read msword
files fully and properly: MS Word itself (obviously not an option), and
OpenOffice.org (maybe your best bet)

if you're really only interested in extracting the text, there are a few
tools that you could hook into - "wv" (for word view) springs to mind.
