You're in for a world of hurt.  When importing files into Apex, you're restricted by things like Visualforce view state size, Regex too complicated errors, and Apex CPU limits.  I've attempted to implement similar requirements for csvs or excel files.  Your requirement is likely more complicated because the structure of word documents is very complicated.

I would either push back on the requirement, or invest some time in looking at either an existing App Exchange project or a third party service that you could utilize outside of Salesforce.
