At Ole's suggestion I've moved to placing RTF files instead of DOC - it helpped a lot. Here is the code to make the rtf in visual basic via word:
Sub Word_to_RTF_Export()
    Dim appWord As New Word.Application
    Dim Obj As Object
    Set Obj = CreateObject("Word.basic")
    text_path = "C:\text.doc"
    Obj.FileOpen text_path
    'Replace(expression, find, replace[, start[, count[, compare]]])
    text_path = Replace(text_path, ".doc", ".rtf", , , vbTextCompare)
    Obj.FileSaveAs text_path, 6
    Set Obj = Nothing
    appWord.Quit
End Sub
This uses the Microsfot Word 9.0 Object Library and works in the background.
