I think Ed's advice works the best. That is, select the whole document with Control A. Copy it to the clipboard. Start a new document in Word. Alt E (Edit pull-down) then S to choose Paste Special. Use the RTF format, then press Enter to paste the document. The numbered text will have numbers, but you can edit them directly, by selecting them and copying or cutting them as you need to. Once you are happy with the result, you can use the Save As function to save the file as a Word document. Whew! All of that on one cup of coffee.
