You can try to compile your TeX file to HTML using tex4ht. The HTML
code can be then pasted to Word. Basic command to compile XeTeX file
to HTML is

   make4ht -ux filename.tex

Development version of make4ht can compile also to the ODT format,
which can be opened directly in Word:

   make4ht -ux -f odt filename.tex

It is possible that you will need some additional configurations for
the correct compilation. It depends on used packages or custom macros
in the document.

Best regards,
Michal
