Set up a style file to give short lines single spaced.  Latex it and
then run dvi2tty on the file, e.g.

dvi2tty file.dvi > file.tty

This will give a crude ascii file that can be editied using MSword
or Wordpervert.  Equations will be given as a collection of ascii
character and would have to be reworked for a nice appearence.
