There is no such thing as "Word DOC" ? 
MS Word has at least 7 different formats, and also recognozes rtf when 
saved if a file with .doc extension - that's often how newer versions 
of MS Word "Save As" to some older Word version. 
It may be that latest versions will automatically recognize even HTML 
content in .doc 

I guess there may have been some attempts of HTML->RTF conversion but I 
was able to find only :
* latex2rtf (distributed with at least Debian Linux)
* SGMLkit - can convert XML to either RTF or HTML
* PolyglotMan - man pages to RTF,HTML,...
* XTAL (http://www.zeigermann.de/xtal.html) a powerful converter in java
* SGMLTools (www.sgmltools.org)

but none of them does exactly what you need ;(

You could theoretically use SGMLTools to define your doc's and then 
produce either HTML or RTF as needed ..
