Well, it works for me, run from Script Debugger, OS 9.2.2, AS 1.8.3, Word 2001, and I just tested it again on a document with a picture and another one with a table. Perhaps you're in X which I don't yet use.

Here's an economical way (with thanks to Shane Stanley for starting
me thinking):\

tell application "Microsoft Word"
save document 1 as "text only"
revert document 1
set style of text from word 1 to word 2 of document 1 to bold
end tell

Just tested this one out and got an error message from line 2 (both
documents, 1 with picture but that was not the problem):

Microsoft Word got an error: Cant make some data into the expected type.
