Best Method for Converting An Executable to A Word Doc?
The file you linked can be opened, for proper display, in LibreOffice, which by the way is free.

I was also able to convert this file via the command line to a plain text document using LibreOffice's executable soffice using the following syntax:

/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --headless --convert-to txt $FileNameToConvert


Example:

/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --headless --convert-to txt "'…&amp; hitting number three on 3"


The above command created the "'…&amp; hitting number three on 3.txt" file and I then opened it in TextEdit and it displayed properly as it should.

You can batch convert the documents in the same manner by using a wildcard (an asterisk), e.g..:

/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice --headless --convert-to txt *


The above command to batch convert assumes you've installed LibreOffice in /Applications and placed the files to convert in their own directory and have changed to that directory in Terminal.

Note: If you want to convert the files to Microsoft Word documents use doc or docx instead of txt for the --convert-to option, e.g.: --convert-to doc
