Coe,
It depends which version of Word you're using, but with recent versions (2004 and 2008) you can start here:

The 2004 AppleScript Reference is still valid, I believe.
If you're also new to AppleScript, then you may find starting with Word (or Excel) to be a double challenge. If you're familiar with VBA for the Windows versions, there are a lot of similarities.

I understand and one can look at the "dictionary" for Microsoft Word, but this doesn't really tell me how to "use" Microsoft's object structure. Can anyone out there give me a pointer that might help me learn how to manipulate MS Word's object structure using AppleScript?
