Double damn!
Or maybe... Third time's the charm. Yeah, that's it!

#!/bin/bash
wwArgs=()
for arg; do
wwArgs[${#wwArgs[@]}]="$(cygpath -m "$arg")"
done
exec "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/winword.exe" "${wwArgs[@]}"

Steve,
Damn. I forgot the part about converting the argument names from Cygwin / POSIX to Windows.
This is better:
-==-
#!/bin/bash
wwArgs=()
for arg; do
wwArgs${#wwArgs@]}]="$(cygpath -w "$arg")"
done
exec "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/winword.exe" "${wwArgs[@]}"
-==-
Note that to use the array syntax you have to use BASH.
This is still somewhat limited, in that it assumes all the arguments to the script are file names. I don't know that WINWORD.EXE accepts anything else, but if it does and you want to use them, this would have to be refined further.
Lastly, I guess there is now some Cygwin-specific aspects to this.
