This is related to your ABAP version...
What is your SAP_BASIS version?
In the old version you have always to explicit the input parameters.

To contribute just fork the project and submit your changes.

I think it is more related to the code.
lv_file is type string and the calling method is looking for CL_EXCEL. I have copied the include
ZDEMO_EXCEL_OUTPUTOPT_INCL to ZDEMO_WORD_OUTPUTOPT_INCL and made some modification so that the Create output line now reads:

lcl_output=>output( lo_word ).

and I was able to produce a word file but it seems to be corrupt or incomplete since WORD cannot open it. Was this demo program working at one time? Seems there is still a bit of work to be done.
