Creating Stationary
I would like to create stationery for use with Thunderbird. I would like to use an MS Word document as that stationery. Is there any way to do that?

In principle, yes. Thunderbird can use HTML-formatted documents as document templates.
You can hand-edit the HTML directly In Account Settings, or you can designate an external HTML file. If you find you need to select between multiple templates then Thunderbird's Stationery add-on is very useful.
In theory, Word can create HTML documents. But they are not "clean" and incorporate a lot of proprietary Microsoft Office specific coding that tends not to travel well. Many Outlook-generated emails that arrive in my Thunderbird have odd stray characters that are intended to be icons for phones, etc. This is due to Microsoft's use of unsupported fonts such as Webdings.
My advice would be to use Thunderbird itself to create your templates. Start a new blank message, design your template using the formatting tools provided in the Composition window and save it in HTML format. Then either select your HTML template file in Account Settings, or use the Stationery add-on to choose between multiple templates as required.
Bear in mind that recipients of your messages can by and large see only those fonts which they have installed on their own computer, so keep to the standard default core fonts that came with your Operating System.

Word is not in any way suitable.
This add-on is the best answer for stationary. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/stationery/
