Chris:

Writing rtf and doc files should be easy if you have the file format
specs for them from MS.  They are platform dependant formats, so they
are not directly supported in Java.

With those specs, you may be able to write an import filter (not in 2
days) that converts the rtf and displays a reasonable facsimile. 
Probably have to throw out any font info, though -- Java can't talk to
the Registry and ask about what's available, etc.

Java supports jpg and gif formats.  Again, OS dependent formats just
aren't in the works for the moment.  With the format spec you could
write a translator, but not in 2 days.

You might search gamelan.com or similar sites to see if there are any
pre-rolled items you can buy to get some of this done.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
