That means you need a browser plugin for word for the browsers you use.
Also you need to add the mimetype to the config var mimetypes_embed in
your wikiconfig see HelpOnConfiguration.

if you want a direct download link, you have to set a param
[[attachment:example.doc|an example|&do=get]]

Some mimetypes could be displayed by any browser and they don't need
plugins.
