.doc file format is M$ proprietary & confidential. Other word processing software doesn't support it (or at least doesn't support it very well). So it will be difficult for players who don't have Microsoft Word to read it or read it in Operating Systems other than Windows (e.g., GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc.)

I just don't think anyone will buy M$ Word just for reading one document

You can use .rtf file or html file which also supports nice fancy text.
