The project seems somehow abandoned
Ryan (the guy behind it) has gone to work for a firm that has the full word format documentation from Microsoft, so he's no longer able to contribute to open source projects working with word documents.
Also if you find something else (cross platform) for extracting text from word documents, please let me know
You can use POI (http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/) to extract text from word documents, along with your Excel and PowerPoint files.
The current word code is similar to the textmining stuff (it was also written by Ryan). There's snazier word support coming quite soon for POI (a company has paid for it, and it's getting open sourced once they sign off on it), but you'd have to ask on poi-user for the latest timescale on that.
