Running two instances of Word at the same time

Can this be done? I've got some VBA scripts to run on about 800+ MIF files,
and I want to run the simple ones in one instance, and the complex one in
another instance (it has to be babied).

Yes it can be done. Use CreateObject() or set x = new Word.Application

I guess I should have been more specific. I don't want to call a second word
app from a script; rather, I want to *start* the script from within the
second instance so that I can monitor it (i.e., step through the routine).

Where do scripts come in? The method suggested will work from within Word
VBA:

Dim pApp2 as Word.Application
Set pApp2 = new word.application

Again,

I don't want to call this routine from the script. I want to have two
instances of Word OPEN, running at the same time, both running different
scrupts independently, that I will be stepping through.
