4. write a perl (python/sed) script which will run file through strings
then fix the 'funny' chars to create a decent text file which can be run
through LaTeX or imported into abiword to be fixed by hand.

5. does open/star office have this filter?

Good luck, this is a big pain in the ass which is why we need to get
people to stick to open formats for all new docs. Die .doc (and other
proprietary/binary formats) die.
