Yes, I forgot about the "show all file extensions" preference. I have
it off, but when I turn it on and look in my Applications folder in
the Finder, all of the other apps now have ".app" appended, but
"Microsoft Word" doesn't. Neither does Powerpoint or Excel.
And when I try
answer file "Pick an app:"; put it into a;put a
I get, eg, "/Applications/Calculator.app" no matter what the Finder
settings are but I also get "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/
Microsoft Word" no matter what the Finder settings are as well.

Hmm... On my system (MacBook, OSX 10.5.8, Rev Studio 4.0.0-gm-1,
build 950) the following works fine:

whereas
launch "/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app"
does not work. In the Finder on my Mac, the MSWord application does
not have the ".app" suffix, so I would have been surprised if using
"/Microsoft Word.app" had worked, since it doesn't correspond to an
identifiable file on my drive.
I'm sure the ".app" suffix is there, OS X needs it. The Finder has
an option to hide extensions though, and probably that's set on your
Mac. I think hiding them is the default setting; I always change it
back to show extensions. But I'm not sure why you can't launch Word
when you do include it, since it certainly exists on the file
bundle. I wouldn't think Rev would discriminate between file names
based on the user's visual view.
