How do I convert Word document (.doc) to a gedcom file?

[DerekT]

I have a Word doc that was exported from Family Tree Maker. Unfortunately I don't have access to the original FTM file that was used to do the export. How do I take the exported Word document and convert it to a gedcom file format so that I can use it in genealogy software?
