maybe wirting a macro or something similar for word so that it launch
your script on start.
Just an idea, i unfortunately don't know how to implement this.
if you go with having a daemon applescript then you probably want to
make it so that it does not show up in the dock, so that user don't
quit it.
Or have a quit handler in your script so that quitting it relaunch it...

if "Microsfot Word" is in application processes then

I am writing a simple script to delete a preference file from a users
home directory. Thanks to this list I finally have it working but I
am now presented with another problem. How can I attach this so that
it runs after Word is closed? Is there a way to do this? Or having it
run when Word is launched is even better. The reason is that the
students in the lab may not launch word from my script but most will
probably launch Word from a file that is already created. Here is the
script that works now but I will rewrite if I can figure out how to
attach it to the application Word.
tell application "Finder"
try
delete file "Office Registration Cache X" in folder
"Microsoft" of folder "Preferences" of folder "Library" of folder
(path to current user folder)
empty trash
end try
end tell
Essentially my thought was is there a way I can attach it to the
application Word so that every time it launches it runs this script.
Thanks.
