Once upon a time, 08-Sep-00 19:20:33, Ted Cotton spoke thus about
'[D5] .doc files.':

More information required, ie.
a) they are MS Word documents
b) they are ASCII documents with a .doc suffix
If they are MS Word documents then the first 3 bytes always seem to be 'D0C'.
As for a function, here's a free one:
Function : AmigaDOS echo "------> Doing file:" {ou}
AmigaDOS catdoc {o} | wordwrap -b -i -s20 -l80
Flags : Output to reader
CD source
Do all files
The program 'catdoc' is available from Aminet as: text/misc/catdoc.lha
The rpogram 'wordwrap' is available from Aminet as: text/misc/wordwrap.lha
