What you'll need is a program that will read Word documents and (hopefully)
translate them to text or some other reasonable format. Then you'll need a
script that will do some minimal parsing on the text (i.e. pick out the
words in the document, etc.) and report that to ht://Dig. The next release
(3.1.0b2) will have a contributed external parser example
(contrib/htparsedoc) which will parse some Word documents.
