Yes. It is part af a software package called Office 2000, and it's
sold by Microsoft. (Un)fortunately they have not ported it to
Linux. So, there are two possibilities:

1) You need the utility, because you intend to use Office 2000. In
   that case you didn't ask your question on this list.

2) You want to send a Word document to somebody who wants to process it
   with Word. In that case, send her the plain ASCI text, and tell her
   that she can import it in Word by clicking <import as> [text
   files].
