I have a number of documents in WordStar format (a defunct word processor)
that I need to convert to MS Word "doc"s. I have looked through the HELP
function in MS Word with no success. Microsoft's web-site topic search
doesn't recognize the term "WordStar."

Is there a conversion engine and how can I get it. (Free, if possible.)

I don't vouch for this site, but they appear to explain it:

All you need to do is to install the converter that is supplied with
your Word program... it is not installed by default. On a new install,
just select custom install, and choose the options. On an existing
install, I think there is an option to add features, or something
similar.

Grab the old converter from the downloads page of my web site.
