Hello Tabatha,
OpenOffice(OO) 1.1 supports exporting to DocBook XML 4.2. You might wanna
try opening the MS Word document in OO and try exporting to DocBook.
Another option is Save the file OO format (XML file compressed in a ZIP),
and try using an XSLT to go from OO XML to DocBook XML.
Also try w2XML from http://www.docsoft.com/w2xmlv2.htm
Hope this helps.
