I never use AppleScripts in shell scripts unless I really have to. The example 
I offered above should do the trick (replace 2008 with 2004 if need be and 
change the path if Office is not in/Applications of course, but you get the 
idea).

This OSAScript library update is really useful. I even successfully used it on 
a Mac with CS2 (and Snow Leopard).

It does more than that. It affects many regular operations like copy and paste 
between third party applications and Adobe's,
