You can do this with EuCOM (search the archive for COM).  There are 
examples included on how to do this with Excel and Access that come with
the library.  It's basically like you're working with VBA (although a 
bit more involved, since you have to do more housekeeping).

You'll need to use tbrowse (included) to generate a wrapper for the Word
TypeLibrary, and use that to interface with Word.  Take a look, and let 
me know when you have questions.  If need be, I could knock up a quick
demo for you.
