I need to compress a word document file . It has no pictures, just pages and
pages of words...help !

For transportation on removable media or to e-mail the document, use a
compression utility such as WinZip or WinRar etc.

Especially for e-mail, RTF may be a better option. I'm having clients
tell me that their corporate e-mail systems reject ZIP files.

In Word, open the document in question, do File Save As, and in
the file type drop-down, choose Rich Text Format (RTF). For text-only
documents, .RTF files are usually less than half the size of .DOC
files. A .ZIP file is almost certainly smaller still, but if the
recipient can't receive it ...

I save all my local documents as RTF unless they contain embedded
graphics.
