There is such a LaTeX package: grbbridge. But I don't think that is quite what Mr. LaBadie is seeking. I think, but am not quite sure, that he could use the Unix command "column" to produce the sort of ASCII formatting he wants. It would help to see an example of the sort of Word document he's trying to reproduce with UTF-8. Incidentally, the programs "antiword" and "abiword" can be used to convert Word documents to text.
