You may try the "word2x" and "mswordview" packages... And I think
AbiWord is supposed to read .doc files, too, although I had problems
reading .docs generated by WordPerfect.
Oh, yes -- there's also WordPerfect, but you won't find it as a .deb
package (and it's a huge thing, you don't need it if you just wnt to
read the .docs you may receive).
