Microsoft has a nifty tool that turns a Word document into a Microsoft Reader eBook. Moreover, it shrinks the Word document down to a truly portable size. "Slipping into Madness" (68,000 words) is 513K in Word; converted into a Microsoft Reader eBook, it turns into a svelte 279K file; in Adobe’s PDF format, however, it grows to a chubby 712K thing.

On the download site, it says that the software works with Word 2002 and 2003, but it also works with Word 2000.
