You can import a .jpg into a Word document
(insert / picture / from file) and save it as a
Word document...
And why would you want to? It's a mystery.

As it happens, I have just been trying to do similar:
Somebody asked me to look at a pdf that wasn't working for everyone who
tried to access it from a web site. It turned out to be just several
scanned pages from a newspaper, which were poor quality and yet made for an
overall huge file. So, if by 'convert to a Word doc', the intention was
really to convert graphical representations to text and thus save huge
amounts of space, then I am sure lots of people would like to do this.
Unfortunately, though large files, the 'text photos' had not been scanned at
the 300dpi minimum my 'readiris' software needs for the conversion. As I
can still clean up the pictures quite a lot visually in 'Photoshop
Elements', I had hoped this might enable the conversion, but, the letters
still appear completely pixellated in the 'learn' window. I wondered if
perhaps I could print off my 'cleaned' images and then rescan them, but by
this time it was all getting rather time consuming, so I have not looked any
further at this.
A further reason to import jpgs into Word - if the question wasn't really
about converting to text - is to make them one of the objects in a picture,
to which you can add annotations and other symbols before recombining them
into one image. I often import aerial photos from one source, and the
corresponding scale map from another, before making annotations and comments
and combining all into one picture. This is very useful in preparing
reports on wildlife sites for example (and such an image can then form a
useful basis for a Google Earth placemark...).
Word is very handy for juggling stuff around like this if you don't have
loads of other expensive dedicated software.

A friend of mine seems to think there is a programme that will do this,
convert a jpg into a Word doc. I am just trying to check it out for them.
Thanks for help.

If that is all: the programme is called Word.

The answer is no.
However, you can do the opposite, convert a Word document in to a jpg file.
http://www.print-driver.com/howto/converting/convert_microsoft_word_document_to_jpeg.htm
A while back, we converted image files (jpg, tiff) into Word Perfect graphic
file (.wpg) and maybe your friend is thinking about this but last time I did
this must be about 15 years ago. As far as I know, never an option with
Word.
Inserting an image file into Word is done a few million (or billion) times
everyday, for obvious reasons, but this is simply getting an image into the
Word word processor, not converting an image file into a .doc file.
