Thanks, all. I'll try those.

The problem is that the document is HUGE--text only, 15 MB.

That the file is huge might be your first problem. I remember trying to open some 8 MB files years ago and it would seem to hang for 4 minutes until the entire file was read. Consider breaking it up first, then import the parts, and save it in your default Mac format.
