Word is not a document which is supported by any W3 standards, but you can read the document of the server side and do something about it. You can use data from the document, create an HTML view of it, and so on. It depends on goals.

In particular, you can use Open Office XML SDK. First please see Microsoft's article warning against using Office interop in the server environment:
