Welcome to HP Forums,
This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂
As I understand you want to know if you can save to word instead of PDF while using the scanner,
No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution:
Did you search on the Microsoft website as they have manufactured the windows 10 as well as the MSword?
Did you check for any other HP Forum posts to help resolve your concern?
If you haven't, Here's a related HP Forums post that seems to have helped others: Click here for the steps.
That said, I'm afraid there's no way of saving the document as MSword, although as mentioned in the above link, you can convert PDF to "word" and use it to your advantage.
Keep me posted for further assistance 😉
