This can be done but you'll need to implement the REPL window or find an 
existing one out there.  There are plenty of WPF based REPL windows which have
been developed (in particular for Silverlight) so you might be able to borrow
the code from there.  Once you do that you just need to put pieces of the Office
object model in a ScriptScope so that the scripts can access them.
