Googling for "javascript open word document" yielded the following link.

<http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/6330/fid/53>

I used the following code (from the link above), which opened up an
instance of MS Word with a blank document:

var wordDoc=new ActiveXObject('Word.Document'); 
// creates a new ActiveX object
wordDoc.Application.Visible=true;
// displays the application (Word) with the (empty) document loaded
// ...
// Do here whatever you like
// ...
wordDoc=null;  // dispose of the reference

This should give you a good starting point.
