I don't know if there is a program for the console. The usual, graphical based, word processors do this to varying degrees. I use kword (part of KDE), which didn't give me big problems until now. Starwrite is know for it's excellent compatibility with MS-Word. The Gnome word processor should also do it. There also excists something like wv (orignally mswordview) see www.wvware.com Hoping this is helpfull to you.
