Have you tried to save the file again using Word? If you select TEXT
formatted it should put it out ok (i.e. replace CR by CR/LF). On a Unix
system you would probably prefer a shell script using perl, sed or awk
(this allows batch processing in case you have many of those files).
I have so far only converted Windows to Unix (remove the CR from CR/LF).
It would involve a little toying around to do it for the Mac since the
Mac's line ends are not recognized as such.

Regards,
Martin
