Hi @jmedidi ,
It's currently impossible to input word documents but you can use the advices from the following post to do so : https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Input-Data-from-Word-document-docx/td-...
About the parsing, it depends what you need to do and how is structured your file. It can be very easy as it can become more complicated and require some regex.

Interesting!
If you insist on working with Word files you probably end up zipping those files and looking in the .xml files within those zipped files:

In the first link there's also someone talking about the R plugin that you might utilize to read Word files, to bad i'm not an R expert.
I hope you'll find your solution, good luck :-)!
