open xml output in word

I has a sproc that creates xml output using 'Select ... for xml', but I want
my code to automatically open it in Word, so the user will see the output in
word and can save it whereever they want. I tried the xp_cmdShell (after
enabling it) - either I'm not using it correctly or something.
This is what I'm doing:
declare @.RV as integer
exec @.rv = uspCatalogtoXML
xp_cmdshell 'word.exe ' + @.RV
but I know the xp_cmdShell line is wrong.
Anyone help?

Depending on what version of word you will need to navigate to the proper
folder and the use the winword.exe...
example :xp_cmdshell 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Winword.exe
/a /w'
Problem is, I do not believe you can pass in an XML file for 2000 or 2003.
In 2007 you can use the /pxslt sitch but you will have to save the xml and
the xslt as a file first.
