The other possibility if all you have is text is to go to word via acrobat
(if you have acrobat reader).

Print to PDF then convert the PDF to RTF. In word you can convert the RTF to
*.doc.

This only works for plain text. If you have inline equations or other stuff
they will not be transferred to the RTF file.
