What do you mean with "plain document"? You can write quite a lot of
formats with word. If "plain" means ASCII-text with linefeeds, you can
simply write a perl script like

while(<>) {
  chomp;
  print "\<line>";
  print $_;
  print "\</line>\n";
}

You can also load your document with OpenOffice and save in
OpenOffice's native format -- it will be XML then, but the
markup is probably not what you need.
