I believe the word was His word. When you speak your word it is not a separate human, nor a spirit, but it is you. Your word is who you are.

He said, "Let there be light and there was light." His word, ("Let there be light and there was light.") at that moment did not become spirit nor flesh but in that case it became "light."

His Word, "what He said", was Him, was with Him and was Him and, as in the beginning of time, what He said became what He said.

Again, I don't think His word was spirit, flesh or any other entity at the beginning. It was His spoken word, or even in His mind and reason before He spoke it. But when He spoke it, in due season, it became flesh in the form of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Let's say it like this.... “In the beginning was the Word, ...... (the Logos...Logos |ˈlōˌgōs; -ˌgäs| .... noun Theology....the Word of God, or principle of divine reason and creative order) and the Word (principle of divine reason and creative order) was with God, and the Word (principle of divine reason and creative order) was God.” John 1:1, KJV.

“14 And the Word (principle of divine reason and creative order) was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, (the glory of his divine reason and creative order) the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14, KJV.

I hope this makes sense...
