ActiveXObject error

[King Coffee]

Actually am using ie7 and MS Vista... but not newsgroup exist for it. Went
I try to execute the JScript below:

function openWord() {
alert("inside openWord");
var word = new ActiveXObject('Word.Application'); // get stuck here

if (word != null) {
alert("Caught");
word.Visible = true;
var doc = word.Documents.Add();
doc.Content = "Gaurang";
word.quit(0);
}
else {
alert("MS WORD IS NOT INSTALLED");
}
}

I get JScript runtime error: Automation server can't create object.

How can I get around this error?
