Get a Handle to a Running Word Instance
Look for a running Word instance and return its handle. NULL is returned if nothing's found.
GetCurrWrd() GetCurrXL()
a handle (pointer) to the running Word, resp. Excel instance.
Closing an instance does not update the value of the pointer. So it may contain an invalid address.
Whether the pointer is still valid can be checked by IsValidHwnd.

x <- rnorm(100)
wrd <- GetCurrWrd()
if(IsValidHwnd(wrd)){
Desc(x, wrd=wrd)
} else {
print("GetCurrWrd: no running word instance found...")
}
