how trigger vim to open a conversion result?

Hi,

Sometimes I get text files with a format that is not directly human
readable, e.g. an MS Word file. Does anyone know how to open a
conversion-result directly in vim?

I use pandoc to convert between formats. The string I use just to read a
Word file is

$ pandoc -f docx -t rst [file]filename[/filename] | less

Pandoc converts the docx-file to a ReStructuredText file that can be
read in a pager.

But how do I trigger vim to open the result (instead of less)?

TIA
