    Yes, in Excel VBA IDE you just need to add a reference to MS Word xx.0 Object Library. And then code like below.
    VB Code:
    1. Option explicit
    2. 'Add a reference to MS Word xx.0 object library
    3. Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    4.     Dim oApp as word.application
    5.     dim oDoc as word.document
    6.     set oapp = new word.application
    7.     set odoc = oapp.documents.add 'Adds a new blank doc
    8.     odoc.activate
    9.     odoc.select
    10.     selection.TypeText Text:="Hello from Excel VBA"
    11.     odoc.save
    12.     odoc.close
    13.     set odoc = nothing
    14.     oapp.quit
    15.     set oapp = nothing
    16. End sub
