Just to be sure, here is the script in it's entirety

tell application "Microsoft Word"
do Visual Basic "
Dim rngWord As Range
Dim i As Integer
With ActiveDocument
With .Range
With .Font
.Bold = False
.Italic = False
.Underline = wdUnderlineNone ' and so forth
End With
With .ParagraphFormat
.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphLeft ' and more
End With
End With
For Each rngWord In .Words
With rngWord
If .Text <> vbTab Then
If .Text <> vbNewLine Then
rngWord.Font.Bold = True
i = i + 1
End If
End If
End With
If i = 2 Then Exit For
Next rngWord
End With
"
end tell

This should remove any bolding, italicisation or underlining in a Word
document and set the paragraph alignment to left before bolding the first
two words. This script is straight out of a Smile text window and works in
Word X OMM. I tested on a variety of different documents and discovered a
flaw: a parenthesis is considered a word. Ah, well 80:20 strikes again.
