First, make sure that the journal _really_ requires Word. Many will actually
accept formats not listed in the "instruction to authors" page. [I had one
case where the journal claimed to required Word, but their production
department was actually converting this to latex.]
Second, if you end up having to convert, be sure to register a complaint.
I've had publishers tell me that "no one is asking for latex support".
Third, you can try out some alternative converters listed here:
