Zbigniew,

   You can find and download latex2rtf.  That creates a reasonable looking file that can be loaded into Word.  The programs executes almost instantly, and the first time I ran it, I assumed it had not worked.  It captures the format, but none of the intelligence of the LaTeX file.

   If you want PDF, use pdflatex.  If you use hyperref, you get a navigateable table of contents.
