Are you on a Windows OS?
See the PHP COM and .Net interfaces:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.com.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.com.php

Reading a file from a URL is as simple as:

$content = file_get_contents('http://example.com/path/to/file.ext');

Then you'll use the COM functions to write it out in .doc format if it isn't already in that format.

the above steps are a good way of doing it with win32...
for a linux server i did this

just write the html code a file with .doc extension . and try opening in microsoft word. it opens perfectly. that's it. its just a gimmick...

from the client side use the document.body.innerHTML and send it to the server either by ajax or post that value to an iframe and do the file creation in php.
