I'm pretty sure that a Word document wouldn't be acceptable as the file
format specification isn't openly available (one has to access it in
a way which puports to create a sort of non-disclosure agreement, and,
in particular doesn't permit the specification to be used to create a
free Word document viewer).

* within a program, it is still the original GPL.
