A total beginers question (the books and/or tutorials I'm going to read to accomplish that will depend on your answers, besides I already ordered an obj-c manual and an "objects first" java book, they should be here anytime soon.

I need to make a small app that selects a paragraph in an opened word document, opens it in a text editing window, and re-injects it at its original place in the word document. the reason why I don't edit in the word document is that I want to keep track of all paragraph pairs (before/after modification).

What language would be easier to deal with this ?
applescript ? (it looks like the word dictionary could allow me to work directly on paragraph, even words)

or something more complex like obj-c ? in which case how do I access a word document scriptable properties ?
