Except: how do you work out what document you've opened? "set thefile to
open file" doesn't work because "open" doesn't return an object. If you
have to cycle through the windows to find out which one you want, that
seems amazingly longwinded. Any Word scripters know how to find the
reference to a window that's been opened?
