Here is my problem:
I would like to modify several .doc documents (with a macro ?) in an
automated way (without opening word "with the hand"). Do you know is
there is an object in VBScript that could do that ?

hi Gilleskoziel,

Just to be clear about this, yes, you can modify word documents
without opening word "by hand". You can use the "word.application"
object. But "under-the-covers", when you use "word.application"
you are opening word "behind-the-scenes" and using the word
automation interface to script instead of typing in the changes.

In other words, you are not doing this "without word". If you
don't have (microsoft) word installed, the word automation
interface is not going to be available on your system.

cheers, jw
