Yes, the AppleScript interface for Word will let you do quite a bit, but if
you really want to make Word jump through hoops, VBA is the best way to go.
FWIW, while I've done quite a bit of VBA programming in Excel, I've done
very little in Word. What I did in the script was modified from an example
in the VBA Help. The most part of the work was figuring out the AS I needed
to extract the necessary information from Entourage, then putting that
together so it formed a Visual Basic script that Word could understand.
For those who have made other suggestions of things they'd like to see, I'll
keep working on learning a bit more about Word's VBA in the hopes that I can
put together some solutions that will be truly useful. No promises, though!
