That's partly because the API for manipulating word docs with VBA is incredibly awful.

    VBA for Word is bad, but VBA for Excel graphs is worse. At small companies that can't justify the cost of any software outside Office, people will go to great lengths to get Excel to support data analysis. Not being in that situation anymore is one of my top satisfaction items with having changed jobs from a small to a large company.
