[ESS] render into word_document, overwriting existing file

[clark richards]

My experience is the same as James' -- the file is replaced every time the
document is re-rendered.

It does occur to me though that if you have it open in M$word at the time
that you're rendering it, that might cause an issue with overwriting.
