I never heard about "jpeg2000 format" - I only knew that JPEG normally uses lossy compression, that the option of lossless compression also exists, but that many (most?) programs don't provide support for it.
What happens if you rename the file, from MyPicture.jp2 to MyPicture.jpg? Can you open it correctly?
Also (I didn't try any of the following): in Word, I suspect that if you use Automation, and provide the filename (with .jp2), it should work. Interactively, in Word's File Open dialogs, you can usually either view "all files", or type in the mask (*.jp2 in this case).
