If your file is created as a Word document, you can use f.launch.
Else, you can use an AppleEvent:
dim ae As AppleEvent
ae = NewAppleEvent("aevt","odoc","MACS") 'Tells the Finder to open
an item
ae.ObjectSpecifierParam("usin") = GetUniqueIDObjectDescriptor
("appf",nil,"MSWD") 'Parameter "usin" means "using"; the app in which
to open the item. The right part of the "=" looks for the app whose
MacCreator is "MSWD" (i.e refers to Word).
ae.FolderItemParam("----")=f 'The item to open
if not ae.Send then
MsgBox "Well, the Finder has quit."
