Do you have the RTF specification? If you have one, it will not be a great 
deal to write one. I think what you mean by a DOC file is a plain text file 
as opposed to a real multi-font, multi-lingual file. RTF embeds almost all 
the kind of text formatting and specifications. In general if you want a 
plain text, you can just ignore the things that follow '\<keyword> and just 
pick up the text itself.

On the MSDN CD there is a rather lengthy definition of RTF and a
sample parser for it.  This will read RTF and there is enough of a
skeleton for you to put whatever code you want in around it.

As far as converting RTF to DOC (?), I assume you want to end up with
a Word for Windows file.  I'm not sure the Word for Windows file
format is documented anywhere, so I think the only converter is the
one that comes with Word for Windows.  Since the interface to it isn't
defined, you probably will end up just calling Word for Windows
anyway.

It would be possible to write a macro which starts up, opens an RTF
file, converts it to a Word document format, saves it, and then either
quits or moves on to the next input file.
