Hi Harsha, 
AFAIK , I dont think there is a possibility to read data from word document into Appian directly. The work around may be you can convert the document to pdf and we can read the data from pdf using 'getPdfText' function from PDF Tools plug-in.

AFAIK you might be able to achieve it by using Text file reader smart service. then you can save it into PV. I prefer not to save it in PV until and unless you didn't find any work around because you file might have huge amount data.
