We have a large SQL Server database that has poorly documented tables and
field names. Is there a product that will create a Word document in table
format from the actual database that can be used to add documentation about
the meaning of each field?

SQL Server 2000 has an option called column description
create table dbo.customer (
customer_id integer not null identity (1, 1)
, trade_name varchar (0255) not null
)
go
alter table dbo.customer add
constraint pk_customer primary key nonclustered (customer_id)
go
/* column description meta info */
execute sp_addextendedproperty N'boolean_property_01', '1', N'user', N'dbo',
N'table', N'customer', N'column', N'trade_name'
execute sp_addextendedproperty N'column_description', 'Customer trading
name', N'user', N'dbo', N'table', N'customer', N'column', N'trade_name'
go
select * from :: fn_listextendedproperty (NULL, 'user', 'dbo', 'table',
'customer', 'column', default)
go
drop table dbo.customer
