Zip it. Nobody wants to browse a 3 MB document from the web! The doc
file will zip up quite small. You could also provide a PDF for the
Word-phobic. Ask the Acrobat gurus how to optimize the PDF for
peformance and file size.
Or maybe there is some newfangled HAT (get your checkbook out!) that
will turn your Word doc into a set of HTML files.
