If you are only requiring to read the document, you can just hit the space bar and it will open in preview. VoiceOver will then read this document to you. TextEdit lets you edit RTF Word Documents. For Office 2007 and 2010 docx files you will need Pages. A new OS is due in the summer, who knows maybe this OS will offer even more built in support.
I think Bean the open source free Word Processor also supports MS Word, and there is also Nisus Writer Pro.
