link to word documents

I have been asked to check a web site for to see if it complies with an
organisation's equal opportunity policy. Well what they really mean is
for accessibility.

They have a list of links to get further information about their
products but when the links are followed all this information is in word
documents. Apart from the obvious possibility of incompatibility with
other word processors or even other versions of word are there any
accessibility issues with this arrangement.

I suspect there might be a problem if styles were not used with word but
I am not sure. Another suspicion I have is that some equipment might not
easily change from reading text in a browser to reading text in a word
document.
