Haven't had that problem, but there are a few things to try...
First, be sure to use the Word-specific url (/umbraco/channels/work.aspx). Shouldn't make much difference but it is there for a reason.
Second, test that the webservice is responding properly by using your browser and visiting http://localhost/umbraco/channels/word.aspx You should get back a list of webservice functions. If not, the problem is in the umbraco/iis setup. If you do get a typical webservice response page then the problem is in your Word configuration.
Let us know what you find out and we can help you further.
When I looked closer at the settings in umbraco, I saw that I had chosen the wrong field into the channel, I had chosen "Content" as a field instead of "Body Text"
I looked further and it turned out that you can not use "Classic .NET AppPool" as Application pool, Managed Pipeline Mode has to be Integrated, I created a new one and then i works fine.
