Hi!
You can detect the copy of Word by finding the window with appropriate
title (i.e Microsoft Word). This can be done with Win32API functions like
FindWindow, GetForeGroundWindow etc. I'm sure that you will find useful
info in UT FAQ (just click on the red dice)
Regarding your second question: you can obtain the full path to MS Word
from registry (I can't recollect the right key there, but you can take a
look ;) and then run it via run command.
