That's frustrating, but it's a common problem. People are just so
"unenlightened", eh?
You could try exporting it as a Rich Text Format document and send it to
them that way. Should go into MS Word just fine. I can't personally attest
that LaTeX2rtf will do everything right in converting a complex thesis file,
but worth a shot. See here:

Now, if they say "we accept only files with a .doc extension", then yes
they're strange (and annoyingly myopic).
