Hi Jone Pearce , and Jone Pearce 
I just tested this in one of my courses, and Canvas did download the student's Word submission as a Word Document................
Document link in SpeedGrader
Save dialog box on my PC
I would suggest submitting a support ticket for this behavior.
However, did you know that you can annotate and comment on submissions right in SpeedGrader, without having to download the student's submission? Learn more at How do I add annotated comments in student submissions using DocViewer in SpeedGrader?
I hope this is helpful,
Kelley
