I did not find one on Microsoft's VPAT page http://www.microsoft.com/industry/government/products/section508/default.aspx
The screen readers that I have tested JAWS, Window Eyes, NVDA do not work with the plug-in viewers for IE. The issue is that to the screen reader the information displayed is html and they are assuming IE controls. The only way to read Office docs, or PDFs for that matter with a screen reader is to open them with the stand alone software.

Subject: [WebAIM] vpat for msword IE plugin
Is there a VPAT for the MS Word plug in for IE, or does anyone have an idea
if it meets 508?
