Word can't open graphics files directly, regardless of what it's a
picture of. You can insert a .tif into a Word file... but it will show
up as a picture, not as text. As JoAnn indicates, if you want to use
the contents of the .tif as text, you'll need to use something like
optical character recognition (OCR) to convert the picture to text.
Microsoft Office Document Imaging (in Microsoft Office Tools) can do
this for you... usually pretty well, but not quite as well as
stand-alone OCR programs.
