Word document files are binary.  While CVS can version control them, it
does not "know" how to record, check and display differences between
versions of binary files.  As I understand it, CVS will just store a
full copy of each version and not provide and difference reporting or
merging.

CVS is an excellent tool to version control text files.  It is not well
suited to version control binary files like Word documents files.
