  How in Nim it is possible to cause COM object of (Word|Excel).Application?

  Since COM has a C interface, it's quite possible (although I have yet to see a real-world example). What kind of scenario are you planning to use COM in?

  In my script, I wrote on a powershell, is often used to work with Word documents - such as the creation of html content downloaded Word document, followed by editing its properties. I would like to re-write some scripts to Nim, but I have no idea how to call the Word.Application object and its methods.

  Just follow instructions in this series of articles on using (and creating) COM-objects in plain C, w/o using any libraries, so it can be reproduced in Nim as is. You'll need to import windows.nim (nimble package) and probably borrow to Nim some stuff from C-headers noticed in the articles (look for them in your C-compilers directory). It's related to COM in general, information on Word interface will be not hard to find (it's independent of language).
