Just try this in immediate mode:
Just a note, though: if you're using Vista or Windows 7 with UAC disabled,
it won't work due to a bug in Window-Eyes - it'll fail even when Word is
already running. That'll be fixed in an upcoming version, but it's worth
knowing if you plan to use GetObject.

Just try this in immediate mode:
when Word is not running: set W=getObject(, "word.application")
and you'll get an error, and Word will not start.
Now, start Word and try it. no error, and you can make Word be
visible to you by: w.visible = true
proving you're connected.
