To clarify, the only reason I am "Use"ing the Office typelib is to define the mso constants. I was not sure why Dasgar put Microsoft Excel in that line, so I tried this first: 
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Office .* Object Library';  # mso con
+stants

Perl balked, complaining: 
No type library matching "Microsoft Office *.0 Object Library" found a

text2word.pl line 193

I tried some other incantations, but I either received the No typelib... warning, or no complaint, but no mso... constants, either. Still looking for that magic insight...
