Don’t think that will work; perhaps it did in an older version of Word? When I try this similar script, I get “Word got an error: text object doesn’t understand the set range message”:

tell application "Microsoft Word"

tell front window to set {theStart, theEnd} to selection's {selection start, selection end}

set theRange to set range of text object of active document start theStart end theEnd

set theRange to move end of range theRange by a line item count 1

set theText to content of theRange

end tell

tell application "VoiceOver" to output theText
