If I were  that author, I would have sent  Peter the LaTeX manuscript.
Word  can   read  ASCII/ISO-8859-1  text  files,   right?   So,  LaTeX
manuscript are Word-readable!  ;)

Does Word claim to be able to interpret LaTeX formatting programming?

Does it need to? Any text editor, including Word, can be used to edit
text.
But, as you-all inform me, much of the "text" gotten from LaTeX will be
control codes and other such programming.

The _input_ to LaTex is a plain text file that contains both the
_content_ of a document as well as its _formatting_information_.
