Is 100% required? One would have to use either a good fakeout or Word itself.
When I don't need that, I just use catdoc. (In dired, put cursor on the file,
then capital-X, type "catdoc" and hit enter. Outputted text is in a scrollable
buffer.)
http://www.gnu.org/directory/All_Packages_in_Directory/catdoc.html, Works in my
Windows.
