Hi Mala Trivedi
If you source Word file is monolingual then there are three options I am aware of (and probably a number of workarounds...).
This is a feature in Studio that allows you to export the translation as a bilingual file in Word, normally used for review. You access this by going to the Review tab when you file is open in Studio and select "Export for Bilingual Review".
You can make changes to the target text in Word and import the file back in to update your target translation in Studio with this method.
This can be achieved by using an app from the SDL AppStore:
https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/sdlxliff-to-legacy-converter/134/
Using this you can export a Word file that contains the source and target text formatted in the same way the old BilingualDOC used to be. You can find some more information on this method here:
https://multifarious.filkin.com/2013/07/01/legacy_converter/
This is also achieved using an app from the SDL AppStore:
https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/rys-enhanced-target-document-generator/805/
This application supports exporting a target document with source and target grouped at either sentence or paragraph level. You can find some more information on this method here:

Hopefully one of these is what you were after?
