Thanks so much for pointing this out to me. Now my code should be a lot
nicer. I can use:

        winword=WIN32OLE.new('Word.Application')
	winword.Documents.Open("#{@myWordDocument}")
	winword.visible = true

As opposed to this:

        tempFolder=ENV['TEMP']
	launchFile=File.new("#{tempFolder}\\launchFile.bat", "w")
	word2k="c:\\program files\\microsoft office\\office\\winword.exe"
	wordXp="c:\\program files\\microsoft office\\office10\winword.exe"
	word2k3="c:\\program files\\microsoft office\\office11\winword.exe"
	wordExe=word2k if File.exist?(word2k)
	wordExe=wordXp if File.exist?(wordXp)
	wordExe=word2k3 if File.exist?(word2k3)
	launchFile.write("\"#{wordExe}\" \"#{@myWordDocument}\"\nexit\n")
	launchFile.close
	system("#{tempFolder}\\launchFile.bat")
