If it's a textbox, then what you have is text, not a .doc file. So, I don't see the issue, except if you have unicode characters and need to use nvarchar.

What is the problem exactly ? Where do the doc file come from ? Do you create it ? Why can't you change the database format if you need to store a binary file ?
