There is at least one tool that allows you to create accessible HTML versions of word documents: http://cita.rehab.uiuc.edu/software/office If images are in the word file the tool will prompt you to describe the image. If the image is a chart generated from an excel spreadsheet, it can automatically generate text equivalents for you.
