Why would you be surprised? The Word format is bloated and extremely feature rich. Every time you wonder why a specific feature wasnt added to the Flash Player, remember how big it is
You need to be more specific in what youre trying to accomplish if you want specific help. What features do you need from Word? Would a PDF be as accommodating? Could you potentially use a server side service to create the document and than download it?

Java POI seems to be the most interesting but it don't allow us to make a lot of things with Word format (the management of Excel seems to be better). I'm really suprised, Flex (ActionScript) doesn't allow us to write this kind of file...
