If you're interested in diff-ing the _text_ itself, you can use the
textconv filter of Git, together with antiword (or catdoc, which does
the same thing, but I think antiword works better).
See this:
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitTips#HowtousegittotrackOpenDocument.28OpenOffice.2CKoffice.29files.3F
and adapt by replacing "OpenOffice" with MS Word, and odt2txt with
antiword.
