if you mean with doc-file that you create this file with a program 
called word from a corporation called m... than you can perhaps do the 
following:

In Word 2003 I can insert the picture with "Einfügen - Grafik - aus 
Datei.." and then I give the whole URL (request to mapserver) as the 
filename. Then I get back the image in the word document.

Depending on your special application perhaps it is possible for you to 
generate the URL in WORD. So you have the most uptodate image and you 
don't need to look for a file.
