You would have to take the word doc and import it into the KB to get the data to populate in the article text field: Importing Word documents into the Knowledge Base

Hi Aman,
I have gone through the below link for reading the content of attachment if it is plain text. It may be helpful to some extent.
I tried in my background script and it is returning the result if the attachment is a plain text.
