A ProgID points to a CLSID. If all Word versions have the same CLSID (I recall they do) than you can only reference one of them, the latest one most likely.

I have Word 2007 and 2003 on this machine (I assume that 2007=12 and 2003=11, logic be exiled), and would really like to have a way to test my recent automation thingy on both. Is there one? A way, I mean.
