Eric,
It's not sufficient that you only know if word is running or not. Also you have to know that if you started it or not. I suggest you keep your oWord public or as a property of a global object so anytime you could do a check like :
? type("oWord.DisplayRecentFiles") = "U" && If .t. word is not running
In Office2000 it doesn't matter if you have word already running or not, it opens a new instance of word for new docs.
