How to Embed Word documents in blog posts ?

Microsoft word is a very popular word processor which is a product of Microsoft as a part of their Office package (other software are excel, powerpoint etc).  Microsoft Word files have a file extension of  .doc and .docx. As blogging has become a popular way of communication today, there are many circumstances where you will want to embed a word document in the blog post (blogger or wordpress). The steps given below illustrate the procedure to embed a word document in a blog post which will work with any blogging software.
