Believe that preservation of legacy electronic documents is very important, and am happy to see someone attempting to preserve this stuff.
Please note that 'doc' and 'docx' are not usable standards (even where the OOXML is supposedly per the ISO29500 format) and is ill-suited for reliable backups and long-term archives. The originator of the standard chose to break the their promise of backward compatibility with ECMA376, so there is reason to distrust compatibility of files with future versions of whatever the document standard de jour would be. OOXML documents, even when displayed on similar platforms, are oft rendered differently. Other more reliable and less volatile document standards should be investigated; for example ISO26300. The ISO and IEC do not seem to understand the significant risks of data loss where poor document standards are being used.

Traditionally you can still buy withdrawn standards. Having revised several old C62 standards the biggest problem I found is that the IEEE loses the source text or graphics or both in the passing years since the document was created. From these experiences I then under took a mission to grab what C62 materials the IEEE still had available and convert them into a Microsoft Word format. C62.41.1 was one document I rescued in 2008. Thus the Surge Protective Devices Committee (SPDC) does a Word document available that can be revised and it would be published as something like C62.4.1.1 2019. To your last question what does MSPD stand for, it's Multi-service Surge Protective Device, a device that internally houses a collection of power SPDs and signal SPDs all with a shared ground reference bond. IEEE Std. C62.50-2012 multiservice (multiport) surge protective device (MSPD): A surge protective device providing protection of equipment connected to two or more services such as power, telecommunications, signaling, data, etc., with the respective conductors routed via a common enclosure in which an internal shared ground reference bond has been provided among these services during surge conditions.
