Any possibility that your virus scanner is getting in the way? I ran into an issue with a client who had the NAV Office Plug-in running, and it slowed things down enough that some automation commands failed.

Incidentally, I recommend that you call the Quit method before releasing the variable::

vWord.Quit()
RELEASE vWord
