I do believe that personal non-commercial usage of such articles is  
legal. It's legal to rip CDs for private non-commercial purposes due  
to the AHRA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Home_Recording_Act),  
so perhaps it's the same for text. :)

You can indeed automate this task, but I don't know if writing to a  
Word file is possible. It's a proprietary format, afterall. Making  
PDFs should be a breeze, however.
