As I understand it, it refers to the ability to upload an existing doc, like a MS Word doc, to be converted into a BuddyPress Doc.

OK. It will be impossible to build this for .doc, as it's a binary format with a proprietary spec. .docx might be possible, but it will be a lot of work.

I would like to put this request very, very low on the priority list, because cut-and-paste (especially using the Word cut-and-paste box in TinyMCE) already exists and works pretty well. Essentially it'd be 100s of hours of development to save the step of opening the file in Word and copy-pasting.
