You can cut and paste text into a notecard. However, to the best of my knowledge, there is no way to preserve the sort of formatting that Microsoft Word and similar word processors perform. (I'm assuming you meant Microsoft Word.) If you do use a word processor, you might need to take extra steps to ensure that you're only pasting the text without formatting.

If you're using Microsoft Windows, you're probably better off using Microsoft's Notepad or Wordpad.

If you want to preserve formatting, the only other way apart from a url link to a webpage, is to trun the document into a graphic, upload that and insert/drop it into a NC. I will rezz on their screen as a picture when they double click it.

If you use an image of the document, keep in mind that an image is much more bandwidth intensive than simple notecard text. I wouldn't go that route unless it were absolutely, positively aesthetically necessary.
