If you have a terminal program connected to the TTY, 
you can simply CTRL/A "select all" in Word, CTRL/C "copy",
then switch to the terminal window and CTRL/V "paste".
It'll feed it to the terminal program as fast as it
can accept it, and the terminal program will spit it 
out as fast as the TTY can handle it.  Some terminal
programs will emit a given text file, and you could
do a similar trick either by saving as text format
within Word, or doing a copy-and-paste to a Notepad
window.
