Del, I could be mistaken, but I think you're out of luck with javascript. 
Although it is quite easy to use Word as a COM (automation) server from a 
fully-fledged language such as C++, VB, or Delphi, AFAIK javascript does not 
have the capability to act as a COM client. Since it is cross-platform, and 
never intended for such use, I would be greatly surprised to learn that this 
capability exists.

Cheers,
