Step 1 is easy to do in FrameScript. You can have FrameScript throw up a
Windows Explorer dialog to support selecting the Word files. You can do
things like open all ".doc" files in a folder.
"Clean up the files" is also possible using FrameScript, if you can
express the "Clean up" tasks algorithmically.
