Issues with applescript

Hello,

I'm having issues with Applescript working properly for a number of commands...

Here are some examples:

tell application "Microsoft Word"

execute find find text "hello"

end tell

The resulting response is: 

error "Microsoft Word got an error: Can’t continue execute find." number -1708

Another example:

tell application "Microsoft Word" to page scroll down 1

And the result:

error "Microsoft Word got an error: Can’t continue page scroll." number -1708

Does anyone have an idea what is going on? Is my applescript incorrect or am I missing something else?

Thank you,

Harold
