You can do it but have to via PDF and then use a PDF to word convertor. Lots of hassle. http://creativetechs.com/tipsblog/convert-indesign-file-to-microsoft-word/
I would explain that InDesign is a desktop publishing tool and much more specialist than Word. Therefore content can be prepared in Word and moved into InDesign, but the because InDesign has much more powerful layout tools than Word going back the other way is not practicable.
I dont see why the PDF isnt OK for them.
If they want to use Word then the question is why?
Adobe provide a free reader (Adobe Acrobat) which is usually installed on most Windows/Mac PCs.
I think the answer is to say No and to send them to the Adobe site to get Adobe Reader free download (if they havent got it already).

Sometimes the best answer is No!!
The Word doc file will be huge compared to the PDF file so distribution is much more difficult if you agree to sending DOC or DOCX files around.
