Microsoft Word is a proprietary file format unlike csv, rtf, pdf

if you have a windows server and have Microsoft office installed, you 
can use ruby  with win32ole to automate the generation of word document.

on linux there are some libraries(ported from perl and python) which can 
generate xls(not sure about word doc), but even then when you open them 
in the application it asks for converting them to right format.

I would suggest generating rtf files
