Ray,

You may be able to do this using edit/select all/copy, then 'Paste Special' into Word. It *may* allow you to
paste it in 'Rich Text Format' (.rtf), but 'Unformatted Text' may still work if .rtf is unavailable.
Considering the size of your file, be sure to shut down any programs that are using a lot of memory before
attempting this, or you may get an 'Out of memory' error. You might even try copying just a page or two first,
and then 'Paste Special' into Word just to see if Word will convert it before trying the entire document. hth
