Hi,

there is currently no good software around, which can
convert MS-Word documents to another format. So you
have to do the conversion on your Windows Box.

However, you can write a Word Macro, Visual Basic or
perl script, which uses WHFC to send all your faxes 
correctly to the HylaFAX server via OLE calls. See 
the OLE pages of the  
WHFC doku http://www.transcom.de/whfc/doku/ole.php
for infos and examples.
