How to read a word 7 file?

Hi, folks. Is there any way to read in my linux box a word 7 .doc file? Mantaining the "indents" and "bolds" would be a plus, but mainly I just need to read the text in it. I use StarOffice to read docs, but it only reads up to word 6 files :^< Thanks -- Luiz Otavio L. Zorzella
