Make the path portable by using:

set filePath to ((path to applications folder as string)&"Microsoft Office 2008:Microsoft Word.app" as string

That should do it.
There are other relative paths you can use, if necessary.

I have both an older Windows version of MS Office installed under
Crossover and Office 2008 (Mac) installed. If I write a script
targeting "Microsoft Word" the Crossover version launches, even if the
Mac version is already running. I can work around it by including the
full path to the Mac version in the script, but then the script isn't
portable. Does anyone know if there's a better way around this?

Thanks,
Michael
