Use instead winword "aaa.doc" , however it is not going to 'run' a new Word
97-2003 document if the file doesn't exist. It will open a new blank
document in Word's internal format after providing an error message. It does
not become a Word 97-2003 document until you save it as such.

Winword 2007 crashes on the following command line: winword aaa.doc.
Steps to reproduce: run cmd.exe, type command winword aaa.doc.
aaa.doc shall not exist. Winword 2007 starts and crashes. I expect it
shall run a new winword 2003 document aaa.doc instead.
