Put the Word documents on a network share, then link to them (<a href="file://\\server\share\document.docx">Some document</a>). Users will open them in Word and Word will save them to the same location.

I recommend enabling Volume Shadow Copy on the file server to ensure that you have previous versions of the file in case a user accidentally deletes the file or damages it.

The "proper", Microsoft-sanctioned solution is to deploy SharePoint, at tremendous cost to your organisation. It includes built-in web-based Office apps.
