My guess would be that while some engineers in Microsoft may have spent
a lot of time and effort in adding a comprehensive color management
system into MSWindows (WCS), that doesn't mean that the ones responsible
for Word were ever going to make use of it. I can just imagine the
conversation "What, you want us to change how Word handles color!
No way, millions of customers expect it to work exactly like it has
always worked, and if we change the tiniest thing, we'll never hear the
end of it!"
and the depressing thing, is that they are probably right. Most end
users would interpret any change as "wrong", because it upsets a
workflow that they are comfortable with.
So the way to color manage word is to convert everything going
into it into sRGB, and then assume everything coming out of it
is sRGB.
