there's nothing I know of that'll do this for you. To do it quickly and
inexpensively, I'd save the Word file in RTF format and then put together a
Hypercard Script to massage it. It should be simple to look at the RTF 
output and decide what information you need to manipulate and what you want
to throw away.
