How do I save a word doc as an ansi file in word 2003

[salty]

I have recently moved from word 2000 to 2003.
I used to save files as ansi format to be able to import them into a
DOS based database.
Now I am at a loss for what to do.
Is there any way to save word docs as text files with table formatting
kept?
