Well, that is PDF, not Microsoft Word format...

That looks like ABC format, so maybe convertiting it to txt and then importing it via the ABC plugin works?

No, doesn't look like ABC to me. Might be "humdrum"? No idea really, just a wild guess.

Anyhow, I am not really understanding the question, I guess maybe the idea is to also add a graphic showing standard notation to that page in Word? Assuming you've already entered the music into MuseScore, just use the image capture tool (camera icon on toolbar)) to copy an image to the clipboard, then paste into Word.

True, but the results seem to be gibberish. ABC has a very loose syntax, and I think the converter used is very forgiving errors. I think it's taking any of the letters it recognizes as pitch names and putting them up as notes and ignoring just about everything else (or turning them into other symbols).

I'm guessing the single letters in this example represent solfege syllables - I see the letters d, r, m, f, s, l, and t. ABC uses, as the name suggests, the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Also the punctuation characters have pretty specific meanings in ABC but this example seems to be using them for other purposes. It also uses some superscripting and subscripting, I'm guessing that is indicating accidentals. ABC uses ^, _, and =. And so on.

There are several ways to include a score or parts of it in a Word document.

The most obvious is to copy it using the Microsoft Snipping tool and then paste it into the document as an image. This is especially great if you just want to show part of the score.

Another way is to import the PDF as an object.
This will display an attachment from which you can click and view the score in PDF format.

To do that, click on "Insert",
then "Object",
then "Create from File",
then browse to look for your PDF file.
When you find it, select it,
click "Insert",
and finally "Ok".

That will show an attachment on your document.

If you want to import a complete score into Word, you may have to use an external "PDF to Word converter".
They exist, but I have never used one.
