[UFO Chicago] DVI -> Word

Here's a free-software question for you.  I did a couple of
translations for a client (not a computer client -- I am a man of many
talents, and much mystery), working from hardcopy originals.  I wrote
my translations in TeX, and delivered the finished product to my
client in the form of PDF attachments.  The client is now telling me
he wants the translations delivered to him as Microsoft Word
documents.  Needless to say, I do not use Microsoft Word, and there is
no need to learn how to use OpenOffice.org, if you know TeX.  But the
client wants Microsoft Word, and I want to please the client, because
it is he who signs the check, and the customer is always right, and
you should restrain yourself from telling him that he is an imbecile.
I'm willing to give him the TeX files, but I doubt he wants them.
How do I produce a Microsoft Word document from my TeX source files?
I have looked for an OpenOffice.org tool that reads in DVI files, and
have not found one.  Thank you in advance for your replies.
