If you remember the old DOS days of PCs, you could rename those .doc files to .txt files fairly easily, and do them in a batch. You can probably still do this using the Promt Window of Windows XP, but I'm not sure about Vista and Windows7.
Doc files were pretty much a Microsoft format for MS Word for Windows.
Good Luck,
Gary
