Use the Drawing Tool to place the PDF. See if it works that way.

You can copy formatted text blocks in Word and Paste them in ArchiCAD, they will be converted into Text Block with the formatting. Then you can edit the Text Block.
But there will be no link between the two.

What you can also do is save the DOC file as PDF and place the PDF pages onto layouts. Those can be resaved in Word and updated in ArchiCAD as needed.

This was an issue with an older version 9 of 10

I am on a mac AC 13 and created these pdfs from word with the print option. The project originally Plotted OK
