  You would have to copy and paste because WORD is not web compliant. I would not do that at all. You can create an XML export file and keep it on your own computer. That is what I do.
  Log into the blog, go to Tools → Export, and download the XML (WXR) file to your computer.

  Please be aware that if you open the XML file in a plain text editor you will not corrupt it but if you open it any other way you will corrupt it. There is no way to have a digital backup of your blog that reads like a WORD document does. If that’s what you want then you have to copy and paste every post and every comment into WORD documents. If you ever have to use that silly non-web complaint WORD backup then you have to copy and paste into posts all over again.
