YOU SHOULDN'T BE SAVING TO DOC FORMAT, IT"S PROPRIETARY!!!!!!!

Export to RTF, though it's still a proprietary format, MS will read it 
correctly, as will just about everything else.

(If you must, you can export to Word 2.0 doc format, and every version of Word 
since then will be able to import it.)
