Converting DOCX files to plain text preserving (hanging) indents

[jsampson45]

Is there a way of doing this, either direct or indirect? Specifically the files would be back-of-book indexes with indented subheadings and subsubheadings.

There is an old and long discontinued Microsoft filter - MS-DOS Text with Layout converter for Word - which you can find on my web site at Graham Mayor - Downloads and which still works albeit with provisos discussed in the accompanying readme file.
