You can open a Word file by using it's COM object. Perhaps, it will be a way you can use to run the needed plugin also. 

Here is a sample code to open the file:

'VBScript
Set oWord = Sys.OleObject("Word.Application")
oWord.Visible = True
oWord.Documents.Open "C:\YourFile.doc"

But what about my other issues.

How shall I launch the file explorer and performs my test cases.
