2. Use the File | Save As Text menu option to create a .txt version;

This works, it's labour intensive, and during the process you may lose the will to live.
ahahaha I feel your pain.
I am curious though, why do you go all the way back to text? Don't you lose italics, bold, etc.? Or do you put that back in during editing?
