I guess with "proprietary format" you mean the old/outdated .doc format? :)

This has been superseded (since 2006/2007) by the Office Open XML format which 
has been standardized as ECMA-376 and ISO/IEC 29500 [1], for which a public 
documentation is available, so I wouldn't call this proprietary. ;-)

However, you're probably right that a lot of already existing word documents 
are still in the old .doc format instead of .docx.
