I saved and sent the original.  I had to make a modification and send
the mod. No Microsoft product involved.  I do not even own a M/S
word processor.  I have tried abiword, and it is terrible.  I haven't
heard of enscript, and I will look into it.  I sure wish there was a
new version of WordPerfect for Linux--the original from 1995 won't
load. (Unlike many Linuxers, I am not averse to paying for a
product that does the job I need and does it better than the
"home-grown" product.)
