As far as I know, there is not really anything available. You would
need to investigate into using a custom .NET application to read in
the word document (most likely using System.IO and Streamreader) and
then output the file in the RDL format (using Streamwriter, XMLDoc,
etc). Hope this helps.

Is the issue that you want a word document that comes up similar to click on
a report. I do this now. In the designer just do a right mouse click on
reports, add and existing item, then select your word document. Deploy like
a normal report. The only caveat is when you redeploy first go into report
manager and delete it and then deploy. I have found a redeploy does not
stick.
