is it possible to load a microsoft word document in a screen so that when i load a page it opens up

No.  Load a word document with a File control; read it in a label and you get a lot of text and control characters.  Try it.  If you ask a question" is it possible," it is possible your might figure it out your self if you try some code.   How do some people here know things others do not?  They search, they read and most important, they TRY.

Convert the Word document to a pdf and you might be able to use the following to view the Word document converted to a pdf. (a Taifun code snippet in AI Classic that might help)  https://puravidaapps.com/snippets1.php#pdf     You will have to convert the Word document using an app on your PC or using a Web service.

that snippet is also available for App Inventor 2 here https://puravidaapps.com/snippets.php#2pdf

did you try to convert your word document into a Google document and read it with the Google Viewer similar to the pdf example?
