If I'm understanding this right, you're basically converting the textfile to UTF-8, giving it a proper UTF-8 header. In that case, the transformation could be done programmatically on the whole textfile using StrConv() function - tough I haven't been too lucky with it, whenever I tried to use UTF-8 as the target, it gave me Ascii again. But it does give Unicode - if this helps any. Couldn't get it to produce proper UTF-8, mainly because it doesn't list the locale IDs (third parameter) that I need for testing. The conversion does work backwards, it converts UTF-8 back to ascii, even though it misconverts a few.

OK, after some experimenting, got it: UTF text should be prefixed by CHR(255)+CHR(254) and Word should be told it's a UTF-8 file. The downside is that you still need to know your Locale ID to do the conversion well.
