How can i save a Word 2003 file as an "ASC" file?

The ASC extension is used for a number of different tool formats - what
format are you trying to save in?

If you are trying to save text only as an ASCII file, then use File > Save
As and choose plain text. Change the file extension to ASC. You'll then get
a dialog in which you can choose US-ASCII encoding.

There was also an export filter for "Text with layout" in older versions of word, that preserved line breaks, replaced tabs with the proper number of spaces and so on.
It has been removed, but if you upgraded or still have an older version of Word, you can still use it.
I think it was also available from the Office 2000 converter pack, but MS has removed that from its download sites because of security concerns.

Regards,
Klaus
