> Is there anything which explains the format for a word document?

Nothing public.  You can obtain documentation under NDA from
Microsoft, provided you agree not to implement anything useful
with the information (like a word processor).

> Can word6 be viewed on dos?  (is there a dos reader for word6 documents?)

WORDVU6.EXE?  Search Altavista for "+binary+windowrd+file+format".
