It is entirely possible that if you have a legal installation of a
Micrografx product on your machine then it could add filters to allow other
applications (e.g. Word) to  read files in the proprietary formats used by
the product. Trying to read a .drw file into Word on a machine that has a
legal Micrografx license is not a good test of whether Word will always
read .drw files
