Ages ago I wrote a little Word VBA that exported a plaintext copy to go along with the .doc every time I hit save. Worked quite well for eyeballing the changes in a diff. Obviously you don't get merge support for .doc but since that was still running on SVN where workflows tend to be less merge-heavy (or was it still CVS? I feel old..) and I was working solo anyways the human-readable diff worked well enough.
