    Only 2 out of 31622 files (0.0063247%) are M$-Word documents and
    I suppose that the authors just forgot to convert them to PDF.

a quick look at these three files shows
the following:

 - upmendex.doc is a pure ascii file

 - ijdc-v9.doc is a latex file, with this as its identification:
   \ProvidesClass{ijdc-v9}
    [\Version\space Class for submissions to the International Journal of Digital Curation, volume 9 onwards.]
   the comments at the top say
   %% This is file `idcc.cls',
   %% generated with the docstrip utility.

 - similarly for idcc.doc:
   \ProvidesClass{idcc}
    [\Version\space Class for submissions to the International Digital Curation Conference.]

so the first one is documentation,
probably intended for a --help response.

the other two are .cls files.  why they
are named *.doc is anyone's guess; i
think an inquiry to the author(s) would
be in order, with a request for regeneration.
the .ins file *does* specify .cls as the
extension.

net information gained from this exploration:
zero word files in the collection.  "merely"
a most unfortunate naming coincidence.
