Answer 1

You need to incorporate the following steps

• Read your data into a Google Apps function, e.g. with OneDriveApp as recommended by Cooper
• Use google.script.run to call the Apps Script function from you html file
• Incorporate a Web Polling function that updates your html table with fresh contents in desired intervals

Sample:

code.gs

function doGet(){
  return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('index');
}
function getFreshData(){
  //read here your Word Doc data, e.g. with One DriveApp and store it e.g. in an array
  ...
  return myDataArray;
}

index.html
