I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this request, but there are a
number of ways in which you can have multiple parts of your document
in Word.  For one thing, you can cut or copy chunks and paste them
into new documents.  As far as I can tell this works just as well as a
buffer in emacs.

Also, cut holds the most recent chunk of text so that it can be pasted
somewhere else.  It's true there's no kill ring like in emacs, but I
rarely seem to bother to use that feature anyway.

You can also use the New Window command (under the Window menu) to
create a new window of the same document (i.e. changes made in one
window will be reflected in the other although you can be looking at
two different parts of the document in each window).

Word can also split the screen.  Double click on the black rectangle
located just below the zoom box at the top right hand corner of the
window and the screen will split horizontally in two.  Again, each
view has separate paging controls but changes in one are represented
in the other.

If this is what you want, then Word already does it.  (Always has as
far as I can remember).
