try making the connection once and reuse it (maybe have some hidden app of
yours that connects to Word at boot time and your utilitiy app talks to that
hidden app [which already has a connection to Word] to do the job). Of
course that means a bit longer boot time, plus some memory hogging for the
user. However various companies are doing such stuff (MS with Office startup
placed at startup menu, Apple with QTTask placed at registry etc.)
also maybe it helps to spawn Word somehow invisible yourself (maybe it takes
some command-line parameter to do so [can call "start msword" from the
command-line for example to start Word, without caring where it's
installed]), then connect to its running instance

Be careful doing this. Any other app that uses Word and starts after
your app may try to use the instance that you created. It is up to the
application to determine whether to check for an existing instance
(GetActiveObject) or always create a new instance.
We always create a new instance. But if another application, such as
Outlook, starts after we create our instance, we start getting
exceptions when we try to use the Word instance that we launched.
