John, I don't know where you got that erroneous information from. Every week I email my clients dozens of "text" documents prepared with OOo Writer, which most read in Word and do not experience any difficulties. Since when did Microsoft Word have a problem opening files in Microsoft Word format? I think what you are really saying is: "Microsoft Word lacks the ability to open documents saved in OOo or Open Document format". The simple answer is: "Save your "text" in .doc format, not .sxw or .odt". If the recipient doesn't need to edit your "text" and doesn't choose to install OOo, the best option is to export your "text" to a .pdf file and email that.
