Now that the system is doing so much caching of preferences, and simply copying 
prefs files will not get the job done, is there any other way of forcibly 
setting another app's preferences? (FYI, neither of the apps in question is 
sandboxed.)

The situation is that an app is accessing a database, tracking events, managing 
a repository of files, and using AppleScript to drive MS Word to produce 
certain output. Every once in a while, Word just resets some of its prefs. 
Every once in a while, it corrupts its prefs. Every once in a while, it wedges 
itself due to (probably) resource leaks. And so on. So periodically (+ whenever 
it stops responding) I quit Word, copy preferences files from cached copies I 
keep that are set the way I want, and relaunch it.

So, any way to for certain replace prefs with a know good set previously saved?
