Trying to initiate MS Word (Office 365) using Lotusscript

I am trying to use Lotusscript to open an MS Word document and manipulate the contents.

I've done this many, many times before, and this is logic that has historically worked without an issue.

 

However, a user has just upgraded to Office 365 (MS Word 2013).

Now, nothing I try will instantiate an MS Word object so that I can open a document.

Here is the snippet of logic that isn't working...

 

On Error Resume Next
Set vMSWordApp = GetObject( "Word.Application" )
If vMSWordApp Is Nothing Then
    Set vMSWordApp = CreateObject( "Word.Application" )
End If
On Error GoTo errorHandler

 

The variable - 'vMSWordApp' - is simply Nothing.

Does anyone have experience with integrating with Office 365?

Is there something obvious that I'm missing here?

 

Any advice you could offer would be most appreciated!

Just an off-the-wall guess: 64-bit or 32-bit? (nt)
