Alright, I figured out how to convert Chinese word doc correctly. Just use "-m utf-8.txt" option. It should be working for other non-English word files.
If someone (maybe I will) provide a GUI program to dispaly text contents, we can have a MS Word reader for iLiad.

I guess it should be easier to write a shell script to:
1. execute Antiword to convert doc to a temporary text file
2. execute Leafpad to read that temporary text file
