I had to make some small (but difficult for me to find) changes to it 
but I got it working.
Maybe you're having the same problems I had with it?
This is the message I sent to the author, maybe it fixes your problems too:

Hi,
I found a buglet in MSOffice.py that would cause problems if the id of 
the object has spaces. At bottom you can find the fix.

Also, I found (after much banging my head against the wall ;) that my 
version of vwHtml doesn't complain if the document isn't a word file 
(the result was that I couldn't convert xml files), so I just put 
MSWordConverter last in my list of plugins.

Bye
