This is kind of lame, but you could try saving to an intermediate format... lacking images, it sounds like just major overhead to me inspired by internal references.
Things I would try:
- Save as HTML, then open in a browser and copy/paste to Wordpad. You'll save most of your formatting by saving as HTML, and copy/paste to Wordpad will do likewise - then you can just save as RTF.
- Look at the actual contents of the file... if you see it endlessly repeating font settings that are the same or something, rename the file as .txt, open it in Word again, then search/replace the "dumb stuff" with nothing to selectively be rid of it.
