All you have to do is write a script in word to do this. You can wait for
the on save event and save the file in as many formats as you wish heck for
that matter you can publish it to the web if you want. If you don't know
VBA I could see if I can dig up the code you need.

Subject: automatic ms-word to text
good evening,
I am on this life long mission to move some in-house work into the Windows
environment. It is a long story but for now I process a text file to extract
certain information for processing by a DOS programme. I need to keep this
simple for a sighted user who is also using Word so, I would like to open
one plane text file in Word and when ever updated and saved it should also
be saved as a plane text file. This must be done without the operator having
to remember to save that file in text format while any other files opened
will continue to work as regular .doc files.
I need a reliable method of always insuring that one particular file will
always be handled as a .TXT file. Admittedly this part of the problem is not
a programming issue but I don't want to have to open a text editor along
with teaching the special command set of that editor to be learned.
Thanks.
