Actually, I wrote that script ages ago because AutoIt was a little
unreliable, or rather you had to be careful when using it.  That's true of
any macro type program, they tend to do things a little blindly (although
AutoIt is smarter than most).

For example, what happens if you close down Word, or open another document?
Putting in the safeguards can be a bit tedious.

The script, on the other hand, use COM to control Word, and can't really get
it wrong, like paste into the wrong thing.  If Word shuts down, so does the
script (a msgbox telling you that would be nice!).  I do use AutoIt for
other tasks.

Tony
