From here.

You could have a look at the open source C library used by Abiword, wv.

You can also call out to a batch convert tool

Open source batch converter, based on OpenOffice: http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/unoconv/
The open source for unix: http://www.wagner.pp.ru/~vitus/software/catdoc/
Proprietary for windows: http://doc2txt.com/. Note I haven't tried this one.
