It seems very tempting to just tell them that microsoft word is NOT a
universally available format and you don't have it.

But latex2rtf does a bad job of it?

How about just generating a postscript file, rendering it as a nice
72dpi image, and inserting that as an image into word, and sending that.
They can't search it, but hey that's their stupidity for specifying a
stupid format rather than just using pdf or plain text or something else
that is actually a documented standard anyone can generate.
