running various MS office apps automatically can also be a recipe for
disaster.  Word, in particular, can only have one instance going at a time
else it will do all the work into the same document.  that is, if there are
2 scripts automating word they will both be automating the same document,
and likely crashing it.

to this end, i have been working on a spooler for word automation.  you can
find the gist at http://ecpspooler.sourceforge.net.  contact me if you are
interested.
