William has described the chain for converting images, but I don't
think a similar chain can exist for, er, documents.  I mean, you can
convert most any picture to most any other picture format, but you
can't reasonably go from Frame to msword to postscript to html to
LaTeX, or whatever.

So I think it would make more sense just to define a viewer for
application/msword that converts to html and then hands it to w3.
