I have uploaded to SIMTEL20:

WD2LATEX.ZIP Convert MSWord to LaTeX (crude but useful)
Written by Dr Connor J Thomas (cthomas@f.adelaide.edu.au).
The archive comes with both source and a binary.
Selected excerpt from the README file:
THE TRANSLATION PROGRAM works by interpreting Epson compatible printer
codes and translating a limited set of these to appropriate LaTeX code.
This approach is limited and cannot easily be used to interprete undelined
text; tables etc also present dificulties. But I do have some MSWORD
macros to help format basic LaTeX tables.
The present version will cope with:
IBM PC Hi-Ascii characters
Special LaTeX characters such as \ % { } etc.
Math characters such as + -
Italicized text
Bolded text
Superscripts and Subscripts
Small caps format
Characters bolded and to be printed in Epson Large type
will be interpreted as \section{text} but remember to bold first
and change size second (See notes in source code).
The program can be easily expanded to cope with more complex procedures.
